Three Gun Spring Embudo Loop 6/7/09

South view from Three Gun Spring Trail towards Tijeras Canyon. We made a loop starting at the Three Gun Spring trailhead up to the crest and then heading down Embudo Canyon to our second car. A moderate and leasurely 6 to 7-mile hike we finished in a about 6 hours (that's right, we took our time). Except for some strong winds, it was a gorgeous late spring day in the Sandias before the summer dryness takes its toll.

Smoke bush (a well deserved name) with view towards the southeast.
