Hiking and Camping in Peralta Canyon in the Turtle

The "Turtle" is our name for our slide-in camper/pickup.   The pickup carries its home on its back like a turtle does.

We had a great five nights at a site in Peralta Canyon.   We found a spot on a spur off of the main road, and in the five days had only two people drive by that spur.

We got the isolation, quiet, peacefulness, and connection with nature that we have sought and found so often over the past eight years.

We found a number of terrific hikes (seeing no other hikers on these trails since we generally don't follow "established" hiking trails).

And here is what is almost unbelievable:  We were a 45-minute drive from our home!  That's why we moved to Mesa.  

Here is our site:

Our camper is in the middle of this photo.  It is very difficult to see because it is in the distance.
