A little over a month ago now I was on a spring break adventure in southern New Mexico. Needless to say there were many adventures, including some of the most horribly maintained trails I’ve ever hiked on, many trout for dinner, snow, sun, swimming, getting lost, finding cool rocks, fording streams, climbing to the top of cliffs, etc etc. I’m too lazy now to write up a full account, but hopefully some pictures will suffice.
-
- Some amazing clouds presented themselves just after sunset on the first night out in the woods
-
- Looking back down the canyon that we had come up on day one
-
- The group hiking up a ridge from trail creek
-
- Somewhere up on the ridge of trail creek
-
- I love big trees, especially if they are ponderosas. This was at about 7000ft, descending down to the West Fork of the Gila
-
- Still in the trees, just after a boggy marsh
-
- Carrie striking an endearing pose at a trailsign
-
- Our campsite at White Creek flats
-
- It was just about full moon – everything was visible in the middle of the night
-
- Oh really? That was where we ended up going.
-
- We went swimming here. It was amazing. I like gorges.
-
- Tree 1; Sign 0.
-
- I found this one amusing as well
-
- The campfire at Hell’s Hole. Driftwood abounded and made for a great fire
-
- Wendell crossing the river about 10 miles from the end of the journey
-
- Some amazing cliffs presented themselves in the vicinity of our last campsite near Grave Canyon
-
- Me, on a cliff, overlooking camp. One of the few pictures of me on the trip
-
- The last day we hiked by a big cliff dwelling, which was about 800 years old
