On my way back to the campground on Hwy 4, I decided to stop at what I suspected was the Burnt Mesa TH. It was unmarked, but there was parking and it seemed about right for location. I also spotted some wildflowers there and the rain wasn't happening there at that time, so I figured I'd meander. This Trail is on the Bandelier NM List and has the stats at 5.6 miles RT with 300 ft gain. It runs on top of the mesa mostly. I didn't have much left in the tank, but decided to follow the trail for a ways anyway.

Nice trail with some excellent long distance views and the most wildflowers I'd seen to date, although by no means anywhere near anything but possibly moderate. Again, bad winter for New Mexico. Nice jaunt and I'll be back to do the whole thing at some point.
