Lower Salt River

This morning, we drove to the Maricopa Trail Trailhead between the Salt River and Usery Mountain Regional Park and hiked up an unnamed trail along the Salt River to the Phon D Sutton Picnic Site and back for 4.8 miles. It rained about 1/2" here yesterday, so the trail was soft and not dusty. We started at sunrise.
We had views of Mount McDowell across the Salt River for most of the trail. We took some boot tracks down to the river for views also.
for a short way, we walked through thick arrowweed.
saguaros and Usery Mountain to the southeast
