We are back from our 24 or so hours in Phoenix. We had a very nice overnight getaway and now I’m getting settled back into my routine so I can get the work week off to a great start.
We took backroads to Phoenix yesterday because Interstate 10 northwest from Casa Grande to the outer suburbs of Phoenix is a nightmare to drive. Woefully over capacity most of the time, the two lanes in each direction are often clogged and drivers wondering why the road was narrowed across the Gila River Indian Reservation. Apparently it’ll be widened soon, but with the U.S. Government doing very odd things these days, who knows if that will come to fruition.
Anyway, the back roads brought us to a sign for Peralta Regional Park in Golden Canyon of US Route 60. We ventured the four or so miles of dirt road to check out some hiking trails.
The Serenity Loop in the Superstition Mountains is an enjoyable, easy hike that clocks in around 1 1/2 miles. Earl isn’t used to hiking, so we picked an easier spot.
Highly recommended.
