The Superstition Mountains of Arizona are quite picturesque and have many hiking opportunities and of varying levels of difficulty.
Despite less-than-optimal weather conditions, we went further on our hike and were rewarded with some pretty scenes.
Near the end, we saw several longhorn cattle freely roaming about within the park lands. It made me feel like I should have been in Texas! I wondered what the process was for rounding up all the cattle - and what precautions the ranchers must take to protect themselves against those horns. Somehow, within all those prickly cactus and scrubby bushes, the cattle (who looked very well-fed) must find enough to eat. Gosh, if that would have been the Holstein cows we had on our farm in Wisconsin....
