Hole in the Rock, Papago Park


Just east of downtown phoenix and north of Tempe lies Papago Park.  The desert preserve is home to the Phoenix Zoo, Botanical Garden, hiking trails, picnic areas and Hole in the Rock.  Ramona and I hiked around behind the weathered sandstone rock and up into the hole.


The view from inside the rock is very nice as you look out over the zoo and off in the distance is the skyline of downtown Phoenix.


After the hike we went to the zoo and walked around looking for the animals but they were much smarter than us.  They know that when it's 110 degrees at midday to seek shelter and watch the silly humans walk by.  But, even with half of the wildlife camouflaged from the sun and curious humans we still had a great time wandering through the Phoenix Zoo.
