On a bright clear Oct. 9 day, ten hikers from the PebbleCreek Hiking Club wandered through a Joshua Tree Forest just north of Wickenburg. Our destination was a single Saguaro living among the Joshua trees. What’s fascinating is that Joshua trees live is the Mohave Desert while Saguaros live in the Sonoran Desert. Believe it or not this is the only area where both coexist as the two deserts overlap here. The club hikes in many interesting places and has three levels – 4-5 miles, 6-8 miles, and 9+ miles.
