Entering Aguirre Springs National Recreation Area |

The rugged eastern side of the Organ Mountains |
Thinking like a Bighorn Sheep |
Scene from a Zen painting |
Volcano-like mountain |
Looking toward the San Andres Mountains |
Along the higher reaches of the Baylor Pass Trail |
Finding a place out of the wind for lunch |
Pine trees cling to the rugged eastern escarpment of the Organ Mountains |
Heading back from Baylor Pass |
Sun and clouds work together to produce good desert light |
The formation called the Rabbit Ears |

Heading home |
Where the lawman Pat Garrett had his goat ranch |

Make this place a national monument will protect its beauty for future generations.
Aguirre Springs is the area that Kali and I hiked when we last visited southern New Mexico. We got all the way to the saddle of the Baylor Pass Trail and had lunch with two two gay guys who had come up from the west with their friendly dog. It was a memorable and beautiful day. We retraced our steps back to the parking lot.
Glad to hear you and Kali enjoyed yourselves, Scott. It really is quite a wonderful area.
