Picacho Peak State Park The first image shows the star attraction of the park: Picacho Peak. This wonderful locale can be found between Phoenix and Tucson.

And there is plenty more to see, including cacti blooming, as seen in the second image. The final image was taken at an abandoned restaurant at the exit one uses to get to the park.

I found a nice history of the park here.

San Pedro River This is where Charleston Road crosses over the San Pedro River. (The historical site of Charleston is nearby.) Adjacent to the old bridge is a historical marker for the Mormon Battalion. Here they had a "battle of the bulls" (1846) on their march between Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and San Diego. The battle was with actual bulls, not people. Two images by Richard Koenig; taken May 4th 2024. Land acknowledgement: O’odham Jeweḍ, Akimel O’odham (Upper Pima), Tohono O’odham, Hohokam.

Shot this mini adventure with @ukh_nia last Sunday. Wishing I was outside today and not stuck in a smoky casino. #akimeloodham ✊🏽
