Mineral Creek, Alma, New Mexico
The Mineral Creek hike travels up a slot canyon for about 2 miles to the location of an old mill of some sort. At the point where it comes out of the slot there is a camping spot
that is also a great place to have lunch before turning around and heading back to the trailhead. This is not a ideal, easy walk, but in many cases a rock scramble and a trip with
sometimes very dicey footing. It is a photogs paradise.

 I particularly like this small area of red rock sandwiched in between all the other areas of granite |
 Maxie, in spite of being a 'senior citizen', squeezes all the exploration and fun he can out of these hikes |

 And yes, we had the goats with us today. The goats operate on the 'eat til you drop' philosophy |

 A beautiful lunch location, and for the goats, plenty to eat |

 Interesting that this one hoodoo is pushed out so far from the hill where it originated |
