Palm Canyon Trail

Since Sean didn't have to work today, we decided to drive to Borrego Springs and hike the Palm Canyon Trail. The trail is three miles and winds up through a canyon to an oasis in the middle of the desert. It was awesome! The hike was really easy (which is good, because it was way hot out there!) The scenery was gorgeous. We saw a million lizards, and some birds, a frog, and a few big horned sheep. The oasis was really cool, there was a small waterfall at it and a creek too. The trees were all really close together, so it was almost like a fort inside of them. We took 102 pictures but didn't get any of us... We were bummed we forgot to and almost (and by almost, I really mean the idea was only mentioned jokingly) hiked back up to get some shots of our lovely selves, but our laziness won that battle (again, not a battle because we were never actually going to go back) .... So, here are some pictures of the scenery...which are almost as good to look at as we are: 
These are pictures from the start of the trail

I love that hike! Mostly because it is an easy hike. And I guess it is beautiful as well. Thanks for inviting us but we weren't available that week.
