Hulin and I have been hiking almost every day. Yesterday we did a forest road trip and just walked around town for our exercise. But today we had the prettiest hike ever. And if we could stay here another week, we might be able to hike six miles at a time, AND do 1000 feet elevation change.
On this day the trail either ran along Middlefork of the Red River or kept meeting it. I couldn't stop taking pictures of the beautiful waterfalls and the magical water music energized us throughout most of the trip. The trail eventually went up to a little lake but I had to turn around about a half mile from it to catch back up with Hulin.
Pictures say it best.

Marvelous - as usual. What a beautiful place to hike. Looking forward to hearing a lot more about it. Natalie
ReplyDeleteJust back from breakfast where I saw how to use this trail to connect to others to get to the top of Wheeler Peak - highest in NM. I think we had over 500 feet elevation in about 2 miles.
