A Quick Provision-Day Hike

A small canyon on the Grandview Trail
Dr. K, Becca and I did a short hike along the Grandview Trail in High Rolls before heading down to Alamogordo to stock up on supplies.  After a two-hour resupply trip we headed back up the mountain.  It's pretty hot up here today.  We're at 7,000 feet, and the temperature is already 85 degrees.  There are a few cumulus clouds about, creating a slight hope for rain.
