Location  Hiking the Ahamacave Trail

Where:  Ahakhav Tribal Prserve, Arizona

 

 In our attempt to show Dan & Charlene some of our favorite hikes, we took them to the Ahakhav Tribal Preserve to hike the Ahamacave Trail. Our dogs loved it. They got to run down the trail and chase after Desert Cottontail Rabbits and sniff out new smells.

Our last trip here turned out to be a great birding day. But, today the birds were a little scarce, especially all the waterfowl. The Backwater was particularly quite, all the ducks have left. We saw only a few American Coots, and a Pied-bill Grebe.

Still, we enjoyed the hike. New interpretive signs have been installed since our previous hike last month. The signs help to explain the restoration efforts that are being made by the Colorado River Indian Tribes to this riparian area. Again, as last time, we had the trail to ourselves. It's a great place to get some exercise, sunshine, and enjoy some quiet time.
