White Tank & Petroglyphs

The usual start to the day with Russell and his walk before heading off to meet with P&G for a hike in White Tank Park. We thought to take him along, but as we learned the old boy powers out after 3km.

Decided on a loop hike starting at the Black Rock trail up to the dry waterfall, and found Petroglyphs along the way. The indigenous Hohokam people lived in the area between 500-1100 AD.

Going at a leasurely pace we enjoyed the gorgeous warm afternoon. We walked all the way to where water falls during the rainy season, and enjoyed a rest in the cool shaded dry Canyon. It must be impressive to see when the water is flowing! Not getting sun exposure the rock in the Canyon was cool to the touch too 🧊

Realising that the chosen hike wasn't as long as we originally thought, decided to detour to another trail back to the car.

Later we drove back south to Goodyear and had a social evening with P&G at thier place in Estrella. Russell joined us for the car ride and visit 🐕. A took him for his evening walk. Never having been in the area, he impressively remembered the off trail route back to the house 🤓Read more
