Here’s a #ThrowbackThursday from the first day of the year, when Tucson woke up to snow-covered Saguaros! What a winter wonderland. ❄️🌵 . . Photo on the Sendero Esperanza Trail in @saguaronationalpark by @desertsirena . . 📍Ancestral lands of the O’odham and Yaqui
Storms last week brought the sweet sound of water to the Sonoran Desert! Swipe for a video of Agua Caliente Creek, a prickly heart shaped cactus and a classic Saguaro and mountain view. . . #OptOutside photos by @desertsirena . . 📍Ancestral lands of the O’odham and Yaqui
Time lapse of yet another spectacular Sonoran Desert sunset. Grateful to be able to witness such sublime beauty. Video by @desertsirena. #OptOutside . . 📍Ancestral lands of the O’odham and Yaqui
What a sunset! You never know with an overcast day. Sometimes the sunset is nonexistent, but other times you get lucky and see a classic Arizona spectacular display of colors dancing in the sky. 📷 @desertsirena . . 📍Ancestral lands of the O’odham and Yaqui
Happy Friday! Sound on to hear Granite Rapids. Have you ever gone rafting? Would you go rafting on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon? There are private trips which require a permit or commercial trips where you can go with a licensed outfitter. Commercial season is over so these rafters are on a private trip. The Colorado River flows 277 miles through the Canyon from Lee’s Ferry to the Grand Wash Cliffs. . . Video by founder @desertsirena from a recent 4-day solo backpacking trip. . . 📍 The 11 Traditionally Associated Tribes of Grand Canyon are: Havasupai Tribe, Hopi Tribe, Hualapai Tribe, Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, Las Vegas Band of Paiute Indians, Moapa Band of Paiute Indians, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, Navajo Nation, The Pueblo of Zuni and the Yavapai-Apache Nation.
Happy National Take a Hike Day! It's also the 10-year anniversary of our founder @desertsirena’s blog, Sirena's Wanderings, this week. She's got a new post up, link in bio. She started the blog after section-hiking the Arizona Trail because she wanted a way to share her adventures and provide a resource for people planning their own trips. . . "I had no idea what was next, but my experiences on the AZT showed me that I could push myself farther than I’d ever imagined. It gave me the confidence for the things that followed: becoming a public speaker and advocate for the outdoors, taking on increasingly difficult outdoor pursuits, getting my jobs as the Gateway Community Liaison for the Arizona Trail Association and as a guide on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon, and ultimately starting my consulting business, Trails Inspire and writing a book." . . Video by @desertsirena on the Hermit Trail, Grand Canyon . . 📍The 11 Traditionally Associated Tribes of Grand Canyon are: Havasupai Tribe, Hopi Tribe, Hualapai Tribe, Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, Las Vegas Band of Paiute Indians, Moapa Band of Paiute Indians, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, Navajo Nation, The Pueblo of Zuni and the Yavapai-Apache Nation.
