Decided we need to take a hike so we headed to White Tank Mountain Regional Park. It is about a 20 minute drive from our campground and very little traffic. The mountians have an elevation of 4,000 feet and the floodwaters have scoured out a series of depressions, or "tanks," in the white granite rock, thus the name of the mountains. We stopped at the nature center and got to see the live display of rattle snakes and a stuffed owl. I don't like snakes or owls so we got out of there rather quickly. We decided to take the Waterfall Trail hike because seeing waterfalls is one of my favorite things to do. Well the hike is about one mile out to the "waterfall." There is no waterfall:(( why would there be in the middle of the desert? Well the hike and the scenery were very nice and there were other tourists looking for this waterfall.
On the way back we saw a rose farm with thousands of roses. It was very cool to see all the different colored roses.
We are enjoying our stay in Buckeye, but it is time to move on to Sedona on wednesday. It is going to be cooler as the elevation is different, let's just hope we don't get any snow:))
