December 30, 2007 - Superstition Mountains
Today was a travel day - Des Moines to Phoenix via Chicago. Since most of our time will be spent in northern Arizona and when the kids think of the Arizona desert, they think of the Sonoran Desert, land of giant Sugaro cactus. So we ventured immediately to Lost Dutchman State Park, just east of Phoenix to view the Sonoran Desert.
I think this is a small Sugaro cactus Marty is hiding behind. The kid is so excited for this trip!
Marty and Emma pose by some mature Sugaro cactus in front of the Superstition Mountains.
Emma examines a plant very unlike any near to her home - a jumping cholla - looking very fuzzy this time of year. After a quick late lunch and grocery shopping stop, we headed to our lodging in Sedona.
