We
stayed at nearby Deming New Mexico a few months ago and just did a day trip to
this state park (1, 2). This time we were able to get a campsite for a few days.
The
big thing is to look for rocks (duh!) but the hiking is great too. You don’t
have to stay on the trails since you can find more unusual rocks off trail. One
morning I climbed the mountain (no trail)…
…
while other times I stayed on the trail.
A
big campsite in the spring!
We
visited the nearby Spring Canyon State Park for the steep hike. The hike up
wasn’t bad but the hike back down on slippery pebbles was exciting to say the
least.
Just
the road to the park is 17% grade (that is steep!).
There
was a ring around the sun during our hike.
