Before we we headed home we wanted to do a short little hike.

Trail Description: If you want a short
hike to stretch your legs, here’s the trail for you. The trail travels primarily in open grassland, with a short section in ponderosa pine. Glimpses of Springerville/Eagar can be seen from the trail. Although the trail has very little elevation change, portions are rocky creating a more challenging experience. Horses are not allowed on this trail.

 We had no idea that there were so many trails connected to this one!  It was cold and windy when we started out!
 Here's our trail!
 Cool tree!

 Awesome views of Springerville and Eagar!
 We followed a different route back.
 It got impossible to travel through so we cut back to find the original trail.
Started out cold and ended real warm.  Then we were off to find Mexican Hay Lake.

 The road is totally not marked.
Cool little side trip!  Now back home.
