I mentioned in my previous post that Pioneer Park has 52 acres of land to explore- which is quite a lot of space! We didn't have that long to explore, so we didn't get too far from the car, but we tried to take in what we could. After checking out the overlook and making myself thoroughly uncomfortable by waddling closer to the edge of a large rock with a steep drop than I feel comfortable with, we returned to less frightening environments. What's scary about a dark tunnel going into the mountain, after all? I guess it depends who you ask... for all we know there could be trolls, scorpions, rattlesnakes, homeless people (who aren't necessarily threatening but might make some people really uncomfortable), Droogs, the possibilities are endless! Lucky for us, we didn't encounter anything frightening other than my camera running low on battery. Womp womp. These things. We still managed to get a pretty good amount of photos, but when it was time for Antho to get a fancy tunnel photo shoot my camera started flashing the low-battery indicator which caused a bit of grumbling from Antho. Sorry, buddy, next time.
This park seems like an ideal place to bring your mountain bike if you're into that sort of thing. We found this nice paved route for biking on, but I expect there's plenty more unpaved routes to take that we simply didn't have the time to find or explore in this venture. While it does get up to the 100's during the summer, there were still people out getting their pedaling fix during our walk. Downhill is really nice, after all, as you get your own breeze from the momentum to cool off from the exertion of getting to the top of the hill... unless you just drive to the top and save your workout for the end. Whatever works for you, guys. I'm not here to judge, I'm just trying to say there are so many freaking options out here! There were picnic tables for those who want a more casual snack outside, and there were dudes with their remote-controlled ATVs playing among the rocks. Lots of things to do out here!
And away we go~
