This was one of those impulse trips to take advantage of what seemed to be the last weekend of cool temps in the valley, making any full day hike attempts less fun going forward. Unless you’re one of those people who can get up at 4 am to hike, but we just migrate up north.… So Josh suggested a new spot on the north end of Lake Pleasant, from Table Mesa Road. In all honesty I had avoided the lakes in Phoenix until recently, after realizing that you really can avoid the loud boats and masses/party animals by exploring during the winter months. The spot we found was as secluded as they come, complete with an ideal spot to set up hammocks by the lake. Our attempt to hike up to the India Mesa ruins was made somewhat tricky when we found out there was a bald eagle nest being protected and we’d have to make a huge detour to avoid its vicinity. Even though we ran out of time to make it to the ruins, the hiking we were able to accomplish rewarded us with plenty of spring wildflowers in bloom and a great lookout point of the lovely Lake Pleasant.
