We’re comfortably ensconced here at Desert Trails. RV life necessitates some mundane routines: there are tanks to empty, groceries to procure, as well as cleaning up around camp. On the bright side we have easy access to the desert and a vibrant community of like minded campers. One of our neighbors told us about a nearby trail system we had not explored so we decided to make the short drive to the Sarasota Trail Head.

The trail ascends to a high point for views of the surrounding desert.







We went back New Year’s Day for our first hike of the year but had to cut it short due to rain.



Mountain biking continues to be a preferred activity here at Desert Trails. Pat has hooked up with group of women who are seasoned mountain bikers and have been coaching her to improve her skills.

Desert Trails RV Park is also a short drive to the Saguaro National Park. The park has a lovely scenic drive and lots of hiking trails. We chose the Valley View Trail for a morning hike.




A short distance from the park is Gates Pass, a popular spot for watching the sun set.


Every day brings more opportunities to watch the sun set…


…and it’s always different!
What beautiful weather! We had some lovely sunshine yesterday, which made shoveling more pleasant.
