As we continue to practice social distancing and staying home due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have been going out for walks and avoiding people and dogs while doing so. Today we set out for the Duck Pond on the Arizona Trail. As we started out, we had a beautiful view of snow covered Mount Humphreys in the distance. At an elevation of more than 12,000 feet, it is home to the Arizona Snow Bowl where they will be skiing until May.
Our trek took us on both the Sinclair Wash Trail and the Arizona Trail, both part of the 130+ miles of FUTS - the Flagstaff Urban Trail System.
The water level is much higher than when I was here two weeks ago. Here is the Duck Pond.
In some places, the water is high enough to go over the trail.
This is how dry it was two weeks ago ...
... and how wet it is today.
On our way back, we passed this couple of ducks who were about 30 feet from the trail - he was relatively easy to see, she blended in and Patty did not even see her.
As we passed through an apartment complex on the way back to our townhome, we saw this sign - what a great way to draw attention to yourself.
It was a pleasant four mile walk on a partly cloudy and windy spring day.
