One of the first hikes we did in Arizona was to the Hanging Gardens. We're fairly totally out of shape plus the elevation is against us so an easy 1 mile walk was appealing.
After being in dreary Pennsylvania for 3 weeks, we just can't get over the marvelous blue sky. It's especially beautiful against all the red rocks. My little camera does not capture the awesomeness at all!

The hanging gardens are a rare green oasis in this part of the country. Thanks to water seeping through the sandstone, there is vegetation growing on vertical walls underneath the butte here.

| We saw dampness but couldn't even find any water drops. |
