On a one night trip to Flagstaff our first day is dedicated to a too hot hike on Deer Hill Trail through a nice forest with lots of beautiful birds

Today we drive to the Mogollon Rim for a ten mile hike on the Cabin Loop trail seeing birds snakes cows and even an elk while avoiding active logging

With our relative that is excited about airplanes we decide on a day trip to Tucson to see the major airplane museum we visited not long ago

Our visiting relative really likes planes so we visit for the first the interesting and relatively small Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum

With our relatives that are visiting for a week we explore a small area of State Trust Land so they can see cacti and other desert flora

This day we start with breakfast at the Wren and Wolf before spending a couple hours at the bonsai exhibit at the Japanese Garden and ending at the Phoenix library

Exploring other State Trust Land areas we visit a series of hummingbird caches that we always wanted to visit and are surprised at the number of homeless encampments

Today while recuperating we try a shorter hike on State Trust Land finding many interesting caches and a Great Horned Owl

We spend most of our visit to Ironwood NM exploring one of the few official trails leading into the Waterman Mountains to an abandoned mine

We start our visit to Ironwood NM searching for a multi-armed saguaro before visiting the Titan II missile site where little is left to see
