Exploring Badger Springs Wildlife Wash
On Monday, 2/24/2020, Amy and I explored a new freehiking spot near Badger Springs. Rather than walking the trail down to the petroglyphs and the Agua Fria river (though that makes for a very nice hike as well), we headed up a sandy wash to the north. We saw no one, not even tracks. This "easy" wash was mostly sandy, about 5 feet wide. The landscape was somewhat bare with low hills on each side. The wash cut into the side at several places, exposing interesting dirt banks. We saw several rabbits, quail, road runners, lizards, butterflies, and heard the beautiful sounds of Meadow Larks. Amy tired and sent me on alone for about ten minutes - the wash just keeps going - I turned at a large fir tree. She took the opportunity to sunbathe. Amy thought it made for a wonderful group freehike. We enjoyed the sunny day freehiking perhaps three miles together - naked and joyful.
