PICACHO STATE RECREATION AREA - LAST DAY BEFORE PACKING UP

We drove the Railroad Canyon Road out to its end, and then hiked up Marcus Wash. It was a lovely trail, spotted with burgeoning wildflowers and a few blooming cacti. We took an offshoot wash up and away from the main trail, and hiked over tall peaks and down the wild burro trails that criss-cross many of the hills and mountains here, back down into the wash for our return trip to the jeep.
Me, before coffee

And after all the wild burro droppings we'd seen and stepped around, and all the distant braying that proved the beasts existed, we finally saw one way up on a mountain - he fades right into the background, so he was very hard to photograph...almost like a "Where's Waldo" picture - can you see him?
