Beautiful, lush canyon floor stroll. Easy, so we brought our big pups. We got to see our first glimpse of the native cacti. Tiny, prickly little boogers. Birds everywhere, the plant life was thriving on the unique micro-climate and habitat of the canyon floor. Only thing I want to report otherwise is that there are some serious ticks out and about. We must have pulled 30-40 off our dogs when we got home. I even had one stuck in my armpit for crying out loud! Be careful with your dogs on this one.
