Coming from las Cruces, The Sacramento's always strike me as fresh, vital mountains, with lots of water and wildlife. This weekend we saw a lot of the prettiest parts of them. We drove out of one thunderstorm and into another. We started the day hiking the western edge of the White mountain wilderness, and ended up south of Cloudcroft exiting the mountain range in Alamogordo.
Wilderness trail flowers
Here the plants even grow on rocks
Tent site, under a grand old tree
A prescribed burn, off of Cox Canyon highway
Tough guys running the fire, but they were nice enough to let us take their picture
Blocking the road like he owns it
Forest cruiser
Karr canyon road
The rooster loudly proclaimed his lordship over the vast barnyard
