An unexpected visitor at the Painted Pony Resort

The other day, upon returning from a Friends of Cave Creek Canyon board meeting late in the afternoon a visitor was spotted off to the side of the driveway at the Painted Pony Resort.  A desert box turtle was slowly making his way west across the property and was just reaching the turn in the driveway when spotted.  Perhaps another interested visitor looking for a place to hold a wedding or family reunion.  After some photographs he continued his journey west eventually crossing over onto New Mexico State Land.

  1. What a great unexpected visitor! I have had guests a few weeks ago that were looking for them so I sent them where I usually see them and they were so happy when they found some.

  2. Excellent, I did not know there were places where guests could specifically find desert turtles.
