Santa Barbara Middle Fork trail to West Fork trail, Carson National Forest, NM 6/18/16

Spur of the moment decision: camping at the Santa Barbara campground, South of Dixon (between Espanola and Taos.  Last summer we attempted to spend a weekend at this beautiful northern NM campground and found pouring rain as we arrived. Turned around, and drove home :) 

 This year we got lucky and set out hiking, 

 until we got stopped by a challenging river crossing. Spring snow run-off!

Instead, we relaxed in the beautiful meadow just at the beginning of the West Fork trail and ended up staying may be a bit longer than we chose, 

as a cow decided to hike on our trail. Large mammals have priority :)
