Neo taking a shade break under the Pinion Pines sporting Great Grandma's hat. It's hard to believe these beautiful trees are so close to home. It's a 12 mile drive from the center of town to the Hualapai Mountain Park. Beautiful views from the top and wonderful trees with pine scent. There are white oak, small desert oak, black walnut, manzanita, and more growing that support and feed, elk, deer, bear, mountain lions and more. I carried a golf club as a walking stick, just in case. It was hot in sunny spots but reasonably cool considering it was 114 in the valley.
