Papgo Park

We went out to Tempe looking at a home that we thought we may be moving into. I have to say. This area was just awesome. If you ever get a chance to make it to Tempe, AZ its well worth it.

The properties just seem very nice out this way. People jogging not scared to get mugged. Families walking around and just enjoying life. You wouldn't think the rest of the states is so bad off walking around here.

We decided to go to Papago Park. Did some hiking and got in some exercise while we were there. This place is just Awesome. Right next to the Phoenix Zoo, they have these lakes to go fishing and these huge Rocks to climb up and around that the Indians here used to use.


Hole in Rock

Hiking around this thing really isn't as bad as it looks. As you walk around this huge rock there are step dug in the dirt to go right up to this hole you see in the picture. We had the whole family do this with no problems at all. The view up here is excellent for taking pictures or shooting photography. We wanted to wait for the sunset but never actually made it that long. There is just a lot here to see.

There are also 3 or 4 more large rocks to hike around an up that are much larger than this. I think we finally found the area we want to be able to live in. We just need to pray and hope we can find the right place to be able to afford it.

This is one of my favorite parks and so many people do not know about it.

Thank you for reminding me of this much loved area.
