South Mountain

Happy MLK day! We both had the day off here so it was a nice long weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We slept in and then went for a nice hike at a place called South Mountain. Its the largest city park in the US, about 16,000 acres. Its really beautiful, very desert like. We had a busy weekend with an open house and camera classes, so it was nice to get out and leisury hike around. Below are some pictures, we are testing our creative abilities. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
We were really high up here, and you can see the valley where Phoenix, Scottsdale, and all the suburbs are, with Four Peaks Mountain in the background.
We saw some really weird and cool things, as evidenced by this picture.


This is Mary Ellen taking in the beautiful day - it was 80 degrees without a cloud in the sky.



And this is me trying to jump over the mountain, which i did successfully. I even made it over most of the clouds.

What cool pictures! I love the last two...the one of Mary Ellen with her hands up and the one of Joe jumping. Those look awesome! The photography classes must be teaching you a lot.
