On the trail. Cactus in bloom and a lizard.
The big pay off. Two different views at the top of the ridge half way through the hike. Still had to do the return trip. Lots of juniper trees (gin anyone?) and pinyon pines. Had a picnic at the bottom of the trail. So very peaceful, the only sound was the chirping birds.
We could see ice/snow on one of the peaks in the distance. This was up around the 6000 foot elevation the snowy peak was higher. It was pretty windy but still warm. It was classed as a moderate hike. Most was fairly easy but there were some "mountain goat" type areas. Really got the heart beating with the elevation and steepness of the trail. It was great to be outside.
