The New and Improve(?) Osha Trail

Becca gets a big headstart on the Osha Trail
Today was the first time we hiked the Osha Trail since the construction on the Mexican Canyon trestle took out the original trailhead.  The new parking area is larger, and the new first leg of the trail adds a little distance.  But the original first leg included a strenuous elevation gain that the new one lacks.  The trail is as beautiful as ever, though.  Cloudcroft city council plans to ruin the trail in the future, however, by adding a touristy horseback riding venture.  That will really shit the whole place up.
