The first trail, Sonoita Creek Trail, was dry but presented us with this lovely lavender prickly pear.
Another trail was called Vista Trail and had this and...
this vista to reward us.
Towards the end of the Vista Trail we encountered these cows contemplating the view.
The homeward trail was through Blackhawk Canyon. We found a place to eat our lunch after which we hopped the rocks across this Patagonia Lake outflow creek.
Lunch view of a refreshingly blue pond.
Blackhawk Canyon contains the outflow creek of Patagonia Lake and this section had some nice waterfalls. (As usual, if you click on the picture to enlarge it you can see more detail.)

As we climbed the canyon walls we saw various streams.
