Cebolla Canyon Hike.Jay.2014-06-29
An after-the-fact post of this hike that Jay and I made before I started the BLOG. One of our early hikes, checking out trails in the Jemez Mountains.
Jay here: I had done this hike with a group way back in July of 2009 after just moving to New Mexico. It was great to get back to a hike that traverses meadow land most of the way (no cows this time). The Diego fire was burning in the Jemez that weekend, so this was an introduction to that annual summertime threat.

I urge you to explore our hiking tracks with Google Earth. With the virtual 3-dimensional presentation, achieved by panning and tilting the view, you can get a much better idea of the hikes and terrain than you can get from the 2-dimensional screenshot above. For assistance: Using Google Earth Track Files.
