On the Turkey Trot Trail


I drove to Mt. Falcon yesterday to have a short hike on Turkey Trot Trail.  The temperature was climbing rapidly toward 90 degrees.



It was such a hot day that a rabbit was reluctant to leave its shady patch on the trail until I approached within ten feet.


The top section of Turkey Trot Trail, with its rich cover of trees, is a comfortable place to hike.  Here is a picture that looks back at this shaded top section.  The bottom section of the trail is rocky and fully exposed to direct sun, altogether resembling a parched Death Valley creek bed down the mountain.
