Spring Flatiron Hike

An avid hiker friend and I hiked to the top of the "rockpile" above the Flatiron the last Sunday morning in March. Afterwards, we hiked around Jacob's Crosscut Trail on the flanks of the Superstitions to photograph the carpet of flowers.

Shafts of early morning light pierce the slopes	First rays of daylight on the fields of flowering brittlebush	Closeup of globemallow	Boots on the edge of the Flatiron
Looking west from the edge of the Flatiron	Something flowering on top of the Flatiron	Something else flowering	Hedgehog cactus flower with bee

Hedgehog cactus flower	Blue spray paint gaudily marks the route	Our path to the right, a potential alternate route to the left	Blue mole overlooks the flanks of the Superstitions
Brittlebush flowering near the trail	More brittlebush flowers	Brittlebush and globemallow competing for attention which we had no problem giving them	Flank of Superstitions covered in flowering brittlebush
