Zacatecas Canyon to Juniper Flats

My hiking buddy Ira thought we should do a little local hike, up Zacatecas Canyon, then cross over to Juniper Flats and back. Maybe 2-2 ½ hours we thought. That turned into 3 ½ hours, 9.7 miles, and 2,000 feet of elevation gain. Some great views, however, and we got to revisit the interesting park/eco-community created by local artist and architect Todd Bogatay.
