I pick my way along the ridge line, avoiding barrel cacti and other pricklies
The animal trail up here helps, but it's slow-going due to the thorns and the slippery gravel on the surface. With each step, it's important to position oneself to avoid the possibility of falling into a sharp cactus should one slip and lose balance.
