Oh Be Joyful!

A lot of people have recommended the "Oh Be Joyful Trail"  so off we go!

The trail follows a stream/creek - maybe it will be this one?

Watch out for deer crossing

Tucson loves deer crossings!

 We arrive at the trail head

The dandelions in the foreground and snow capped mountains in the  background make a beautiful scene.  Thank goodness no one around here feels the need to get out the weed-be-gone!

We had to drive across the creek to get to the trail 

As usual Tucson leads the way! 

We soon run into our 1st waterfall.  The trail follows a ledge along Slate Creek.


No - you can't get me near that water - it's too loud!

Couldn't get Tucson to join us in a Family shot

Wait!  I changed my mind! 

Can you believe Kayakers take this route?  This is an extremely dry year I can't imagine what it would be like in a normal year!





They say that in July the wildflowers are waist high here.  We'll definitely check it out!

Hi Mom!  I found a puddle.  I'm 8!  This was our turn around point!


Every crevasse in the mountain becomes a stream and then a waterfall


Hey Tucson -what was the name of this trail?


Oh how can you not be joyful on this hike?????

Till Later!

Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n
