Glendale Equestrian Club
Cottonwood Creek Trail
Ride near Lake Pleasant
T
he weather was perfect on February 14th, Valentines Day,
when seven riders from Glendale Equestrian Club saddled
up for a ride through cottonwood wash, west from Lake
Pleasant. A good title for this group would be the “Magnificent
Seven”. Those participating included ride leader Lonnie and his
wife Karen, Deb B., Barb A., along with long lost Bill, Sheila and
Robert completing the roster. Riding the trail westward toward
Hells Canyon wilderness area we were rewarded with great views
of the mountains and desert terrain. This is an area of old growth
saguaros as well as numerous other varieties of cacti. Water was
available at several places along the wash and the horses and Barb’s
mule took advantage of that.
After about two hours, we
turned toward our starting
point and traversed trails
that led us along the Maricopa/Yavapai county line
for a ways. The desert has a
lot of greenery this time of
year and the wild burros
we encountered looked
well fed and content.
Arriving back at the trailhead
after about a ten mile, four hour trip we enjoyed some goodies
supplied by club members and had a nice visit with everyone
before heading home.
All in all a great way to spend Valentines Day.
