Paul and I went for an afternoon hike in Bulldog Canyon OHV area. The sky was clear and the temperature was in the low 80's. Near the beginning of the hike a couple of hawks circled us for a while. The views were spectacular, as they always are out there.
I think I messed up some settings for my data logger. The track looks noisier than usual. I'll fix that later. Also, there were some wild altitude fluctuations near the end of the trip. I wonder if the government was messing with the GPS signals. They do that sometimes.

The hawk changed its mind about landing.

The hawk is keeping an eye on us.

You can't see the hawk when zoomed out this much.

Fountain Hills in the distance. That's Red Mountain on the horizon on the left.

It's hard to capture what it is like to look over a steep cliff in a picture.

Lots of rocks out here ;-)

This saguaro fell on that other one.
