to start our week of new mexico fun, we decided on argentina canyon. there were two springs near our planned route, as well as a peak, a cabin, and a geocache for bobby. and oh, the flowers! :budrose:

i was in serious tibber mode with all those flowers. the flowers were not only in the canyons, but on the ridge as well. so pretty!

we started up along argentina canyon trail #39 to artentina spring, where we didn't see a spring, but a pretty fenced off area. then we made our way on the crest trail. bobby wasn't counting on going up to argentina peak, but it was right there! i had to have somewhere for my peak beer. there isn't an actual trail up to the peak, but it wasn't a hard bushwhack, either. we came back down and continued on the crest trail to another junction, where we headed toward spring cabin spring. after that we bushwhacked for a while to get back up to the crest trail. we followed that to the junction with little bonito spring trail, then big bonito trail, and back to the trailhead.

great day! :FG:
