After hiking the Cathedral Hill trails on Friday, we headed up to Prescott Park for a short hike along the main road and loop around Roxy Ann on Saturday morning. Nothing eventful about the hike, but just wanted to share an update on the Prescott Park trail improvement and expansion project.

| The world is a dangerous place! |
At the beginning of the loop around Roxy Ann they have now cleared out, leveled and added rock to what will be one of the new parking areas.

We also noticed new posts at various trails around the loop that will eventually include the trail names and maybe miles or other information.

There were also covered display boards put in since we last hiked that we are guessing will eventually include maps of the park with trail information and the famous "you are here" dot.

| One of the future homes for park maps??? |
We did find another new trail just before the rock quarry on the right side when hiking the loop road counter clockwise. If anyone hikes this or knows where it leads, let us know. Otherwise we will eventually hike it ourselves and see where we end up.

We did see a few Goldfield and Desert Parsley wldflowers in bloom and included their pictures below. That's if for now - looking forward to seeing what other changes takes place over Spring & Summer.
