32	32	Day Two at Rockhound Park:

34		-We got up, had breakfast outside at the picnic table (eventhough it was already rather warm, but not too bad if you stay in the shade - fortunately, the picnic table has a roof), and decided to visit the neighboring park (Spring Canyon Park), which is associated with Rockhound Park and basically just another part of what acts as the same park.

54		-Driving to the end of the road, we found "Lovers Leap Trail", but decided it was much too great of a climb in the rather extreme heat of mid-afternoon.  Going back out a little way, we found "Spring Canyon Trail".  The "All Trails" App said it was "easy".  It wasn't.  The trail started up going up an asphalt road which had been abandoned and was in bad shape (they had a barrior stopping cars from coming up the road).  Interestingly, there were many picnic tables up the road, making it look as though they had originally intended this to be a normal road in the park, but for some reason had decided to abandon the idea.

56	56	After a while, we found the beginning of the actual "Spring Canyon Trail".  The sign said the spring was 0.42 miles up the trail, but we pretty much figured there wasn't any actual spring at this time of the year.  The hike up the canyon, through loose rock, avoiding cacti, etc., wasn't by any means "Easy".  It wasn't "difficult" either.  Maybe "Moderate" would have been better.  Of course, the hot sun didn't help either and there was no wind or shade.  None-the-less, we persevered and made it to the end of the trail.
