Palomas Cliffs Trail, Revisited, Sandia Mountain, NM, 7/18/15
A short and fun hike on the East side of the Sandias. Fun because it is a favorite of rock climbers and there are always several group of climbers at work. I remember the trail as short and open, but this time is was overgrown in many areas, probably because of all the rain we have had in the past few weeks.
Note all of the dead pine trees. One more area of the Sandias affected by the bark beetle.
Jim and our friend Charles, visiting from Dallas. In case you wonder, it it not a well in front, it is an unusual looking cairn.
