Spring Break Hike to 7 Falls

We took a hike in the Sabino Canyon recreation area to 7 Falls.  The ocotillo, prickly pear cacti, and trees are blooming.  It was sunny and clear in the 80s - such a beautiful day to hike in Tucson.  There was even a breeze on the way back down the canyon to cool us off.  It ended up being a more challenging hike than we expected - 5 mile round trip.  Nathaniel did great.
