Another close to home outing to the Desert Tortoise Campground at Lake Pleasant Regional Park just north of Phoenix.
This has been one of our regular local go-to campgrounds to check out our various camping trailers.
This time we are at a site high on a hill with a great view of the lake and surrounding hills.

It certainly is desert camping. The weather was plenty warm but the breezes kept everything pretty cool.
On Wednesday we took a ally nice 5 mile hike on the nearby Pipeline Trail which took us to the top of Yavapai Point.
Our lunch spot was right on top behind a nice shady bush with a wonderful view of the lake.
Afterwards we made a stop at the Scorpion Bay Marina Cafe for a cool one!
