Arizona is a Beautiful state and I have lived here my entire life! This is the time of year we love!!! The desert is in full bloom and the weather is just right. Time to lace up those hiking boots and hit the trail. Be sure to bring plenty of water, it will only do you good on the inside so drink up!
One of my favorite places to go is Fish Creek. I took my younger boys Trey & Talon along with two of their friends there last summer. To get there head towards Canyon Lake. If you are new to AZ be sure you are in a vehicle that you do not care if it gets dusty and be sure your brakes work! Once you enjoy the beauty of Canyon lake continue on the "old Apache Trail" toward Tortilla Flat your last chance for a beverage for a while. The pavement ends after Tortilla flat and you will continue on a dirt road that is wash board at times. YOU will be on a curvy MOUNTAIN road with sharp turns. Continue on though it is so worth it! Be sure to park as far off the road as possible once you are at the bottom of Fish Creek.
We hike up into the canyon and love to go to the "cave". I will let the boys run until they are spent. Then we will climb back in the car and continue on, I am not one to go back the same way so we "Loop" we stopped next at Apache Lake and let the boys jump in and swim around. Then on to Roosevelt Lake we just drove past that and headed on into Globe Miami Area. WE love to eat Burritos at the "Burger House" in Miami AZ the Red Mix and Green Mix are a family favorite. Don't forget the Chips WITH butter.
I enjoy hiking AZ and would love to have you join me on one of my Realtor/Lender hikes. We have been doing Silly Mountain and the Wind Cave trails lately. Contact me if you would like more information.
