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.
