I know how lucky I am



I really love Arizona, the natural beauty we are surrounded with is almost too much to stand.
I pretty much live at the base of South Mountain in Ahwatukee I consider myself lucky to able to escape the noise of the city whenever I want to, not that it isn't there for everyone but some people here never open their eyes to what they have. I know what I have right now I'm not going to wait around for something better when everyday is this good.

On Tuesday Chelsea and myself set out on a hike to find one particular set of rocks in an area called the Hidden Valley, it is two miles into South Mountain in an unmapped area (I guess it wouldn't be hidden very well if it was on a map)I'm glad there was a sign when we got there haha. When we started I really didn't think we had much of a chance finding the exact set of rocks on a mountain entirely made of rocks but we did! On this hike we also went through Fat Man's Pass next we will find a spot called natural tunnel I hear it has a lot of petroglyphs I am pretty excited!

Here are some of the pictures from the hike!





Fat Man's Pass obviously...
