Hiking in the Andreas Canyon and Palm Canyon in Indian Canyons in Palm Springs yesterday. The rains over the past two weeks invigorated the creeks and rivers.

My wife and I hiked this path one day about 25 years ago. It was a lovely day, and we saw lots of birds, and one big rattlesnake that crawled by as we sat eating our lunch.
In the afternoon we hiked back up the canyon to where we’d parked, and on the way out we noticed something kind of fun: Where the trail was dusty and took impressions well you could see, neatly atop our own incoming footprints, the four-inch-wide paw prints of the mountain lion that had followed us down the trail without our ever realizing it.
