Hiking the La Milagrosa Loop in the Santa Catalina Mountains (December 5, 2014) lead by Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists (SCVN). The 6.6 mile loop combines trails through the La Milagrosa and Agua Caliente Canyons. Parts of theses canyons are also popular to more adventurous hikers and rock climbers than our Friday SCVN hikers. (Click here.)

May your trails be crooked,
winding, lonesome, dangerous,
leading to the most amazing view.
May your mountains rise
into and above the clouds.

Somewhere between
the La Milagrosa 
and Agua Caliente Canyons,
we take turns guiding hikers
through beautiful desert vistas 
screaming at our eyes.

The desert trail
and canyon walls
graced with deeper colors
after yesterday’s rains
and the Christmas green 
of the resurrection plants.

The Sonoran desert, 
a piñata filled with
surprises and gifts — 
I’m not blind to the worth
of nature’s gifts
invoking my soul.
