Hiking in the Fall



One of my favorite active things to do as a family is to go hiking. My favorite "in town" place to go. Is up at Rancho Park. Up above the baseball fields is a nature trail and bike trail that is fun and has different levels of difficulty. Last year we were able to watch a nest of baby owls mature over a summer. While we are up there we can see various native wild flowers, It is amazing what is out in our our desert. A little oasis in the desert.
With my zoom lens I can get some great shots of downtown...




If your workouts taste a little sour, hiking is an energizing way to put some oomph back in your routine. Fresh air, sunshine and nature invigorate the mind as well as the body. In fact, studies show that a little bit of sunshine each day can help create positive feelings and thoughts.
