Maiden Hike...big surprise to discover this great canyon hike here just out of Alamogordo. caught a perfect day, clouds floating below us in the canyon, and temps just nice. Great to know I can drive down the hill, get out of the snow, and have this trek to enjoy. Susan visiting... keeping the pace brisk. One hour to the cabin at just under 3 miles. We hiked on up to the 3.5 mile point, then headed back down. Great picnic rock ledges below that, shortly after you leave the cabin and complete the steep climb onto the bench. Trail gets big time steep at mp 3.5... and beyond.

Had the canyon to ourselves! I like this.
