Day Two

Dog in foothills

The temperature is slowly dropping here in mid-September, but it was still a bit hot when we were out on the trail.  The Chihuahuan Desert is a high desert, though, and the nighttime lows will soon be dipping into the 50s.  It's already in the low 50s in the high country, and we'll be traveling to High Rolls in a few days.  Can't wait.
