If It's Sunday This Must Be Sierra Vista

Just starting off south toward Bishop Cap

We hadn't hiked south on the Sierra Vista Trail for quite a while so Dr. K, Becca and I set off on a long trek.  We only ran into two people:  a mountain biker and a runner with a two-year-old male Rhodesian Ridgeback dog.  He and Becca got along just fine.  When we got home I looked out the living room window and saw a White-winged Dove and a Ladderback Woodpecker in our Desert Willow tree.  The dove was relaxing while the woodpecker pecked away.

The entire length of the trail was surrounded by grass

Organ Mountains

Several miles in

Did I miss something back there?
