We should spend Christmases in that beautiful climate instead of braving the cold plains… Food for thought. Happy hiking!

Today I came across the work of another blogger who combines photography and his love of hiking the trails. In this case, the trails are in southern Arizona. His writing is interesting and very easy to read, and the photography is excellent. If, like me, you enjoy both photography and writing, please be sure to visit this blog.

We are indeed. Just arrived today but will be traveling more this month before we settle down for the winter. 😉

I always pictured wild horses as free and beautiful, like in movies. The reality is that they are starving and living on the edge. Thanks for the beautiful photos. And the dose of reality.

Indeed. They were part of a herd that amounted to at least 20 individuals, if I recall. All of them appeared to be lacking in food. They are feral animals and I suspect that as it was late in the year, there probably wasn’t much forage left. The park is on Navajo land so I believe that maintenance of the park and its natural resources is the responsibility of the Navajo Nation.
