A Hike Before Leaving

Grandview Trail vista

We did a quick morning hike on the Grandview Trail before heading back to the lower Chihuahuan Desert.  After two weeks of high-country hiking it was really difficult to leave.  Down here in the low desert it feels pretty uncomfortable right now:  high temps, high humidity, not much of a breeze.  Can't wait until we can get back up to High Rolls again.
