A giant hawk's nest in an equally giant sahuaro
Seems a bit prickly to me, but...home is where the heart is.
You can see this nest for yourself not far along the the appropriately named Hawk's Nest Trail in the southern part of Phoenix Sonoran Preserve. Park at the Desert Vista Trailhead (1900 W Desert Vista Trail).
Apparently, this nest also gets used by owls in the springtime. I saw not one feather of either bird, but the nest was impressive!
You can combine this trail with others (I took the Dixie Mountain Loop to the Valle Verde Trail to the Great Horned Owl Trail to the Union Peak Trail and back along the Desert Tortoise Trail for a nice loop that wasn't too long or too short). By the way, I love your work, trail namers!
If you like geocaching, you'll find some nice caches along here.
Happy Hiking!
