I’ve been wanting to go for a hike in the desert since we moved here earlier this year. Today I hiked 4 1/2 miles in Saguaro National Park East, which is a few miles from our home. The Douglas Spring Trail took me on an enjoyable journey through the Rincon Mountains. I climbed 795 feet along my hike and had a wonderful time exploring all this area has to offer.
