Fog across the Mesilla Valley |
I stayed on the sunset side of the mountain, and there were a small number of people out and about as early as I was; it got significantly more crowded during my inbound leg. One of the hikers heading to the mountaintop was my buddy Jimmy, and he and I stood talking for a good long while as several groups of people passed by us.
Four of the trekkers--in two separate groups--each had a dog on a lead, and several of the canines came over to greet Jimmy and me. Two of them were white poodles I've encountered often west of the mountain, and another of the dogs looked to be a young Malinois. Not long after the hikers departed from our location Jimmy and I went separate ways.

I love those photos of the Plumed Crinklemat. And the ones with the fog on the mountain.
