Sunday we went to Coronado Cave. It's near where Coronado traveled from Mexico City into the United States. The story is that Apache's hid out here. Maybe Geronimo. Either way, it's a cool cave to visit. You first climb up a steep 1/2 mile trail (we're getting tired of these steep trails!). Then you climb down some rocks into the cave. The neat part is there is no guide, just bring your flashlight and explore. Even though there were 2 other groups of people in the cave, we rarely could see their flashlights or hear them. 
We've been seeing lots of areas with fires. The walk up to the cave was like this. After the cave we drove to Montezuma Pass. After you drive some switchback roads that scared me to death (I am very frightened of heights), you then walk up another path to the peak. Some of the signs on this path had been melted due to the fire.
By the way, the pass is near the Mexico border (you can see it from the top). So, on the right of this picture is a border patrol truck watching.
