Hiking: Bobby's Rock Trail

Today was the third day I hiked Camelback Mountain. The first two hikes were up Cholla Trail, which is steep and 1.5 miles long (roundtrip?). Today I wanted something a little less rugged so I chose this short, "easy" trail. It was short, not well marked, and easy enough without being boring. I could see myself running this trail (carefully). The end of the trail reveals an awesome view of downtown Phoenix. After hiking this little trail, I sampled the Echo Canyon Summit Trail, which is the hardest of all four trails. Today I only made it to the quarter-mile marker but I'll start tackling that another day this week.
This is what the hiking terrain looks like in Arizona! Wildlife sitings have included little lizards, ground squirrels, and quails. So far no rattlesnakes!!
