This fall, my roommate and I decided to harvest prickly pear fruit and make syrup. October is one of the best times to hike in the desert. It's cooler out and the trees in the valley are a kaleidoscope of fall colors.



Here's the location of the pricky pears we collected.

Here's one of the fruits I plucked from the cacti.
