We talk a lot about being on the trail around Tortugas Mountain, but we haven't yet focused on the trail. So here are pictures of the trail on the sunset side of the mountain. This section bends around Tortugas high above the desert floor.
Here the trail drops steeply to the lower elevations.
A mountain biker glides along one of the biking trails.
Over hill and dale in the rugged desert beyond Tortugas.
I had to include this picture of a gorgeous pink flower that I haven't identified yet. Anybody know what it is?
(As it turns out, Wynn Anderson, Botanical Curator with the Centennial Museum's Chihuahuan Desert Gardens at UTEP knew this plant. It's Palafoxia sphacelata. A real beauty.)
