Temp in mid-70's, sunny with a few clouds, steady wind.
Leisurely hike along dry, groomed trails. The park personnel had been out and cut back a lot of vegetation from the listed trails although there were a few spots they didn't get. Overall though, the trails were very nice!
With the somewhat high winds, didn't see a lot of birds flying around except for Turkey Vultures. Saw the "first of this year" Horned Toad (photo attached) - it was small, about the size of my thumb, but active. Lots of flowers were still in bloom, additionally, the bee brush is still in bloom and scenting the air.
An easy, relaxing hike for sure!
