Yesterday we went on a hike to South Mountain. It was really fun and enjoyable. It was a slightly hard hike because, being Arizonian mountains, it was extremely sandy and rocky. There were many steep areas and and on the way down from the peak, they were so slippery, that Ari fell down and then pulled me down also when I grabbed his hand. I also think Dad is amazing because he did all this with Bram asleep on his back. But it was very fun and along the way there were many rocks that the boys climbed and that had tunnels in them. There was also a fort looking building, made out of rocks. One was like a one-room house and the other like the gathering room. It was big with benches and two mini fire-places. Also, there was this big rock and it had Indian hieroglyphs, [hopefully I spelled that right], which were fun to look at.
When we were almost done with our hike and we were heading towards the parking lot and Asher was leading the way when my Dad saw a coyote. He yelled to Asher to stop and I yelled and then Asher looked up. He didn't see the coyote though and both Dad and I were surprised. The coyote was twenty feet in front of him. Dad concluded that the coyote saw Asher and might've been hungry and wanted to get him because the coyote didn't stop until he saw me and Rhys walk up behind Asher. It was amazing and we saw its footprints in the sand when we got closer to where the coyote was.
All in all, it was a pretty fun hike and I had tons of fun!
It seams fun Kat

ReplyDeleteThank you all for commenting! Thanks for all the complements and the coyote thing wasn't that bad. I would be glad to do it again!
ReplyDeleteI think that would have been kindof cool to see a coyote up close, I would have been scared at the same time though! What a fun hike. We are knee deep in snow up here and it is COLD. I keep getting stuck in the snow and my neighbor has to come and dig me out with his tractor.
