The first mile of the trail crosses the stream 19 times. Tevas or sneakers are a must in the run-off season if you are leading a llama. Otherwise log bridges will keep your feet dry if you have a decent sense of balance. Easy rock hopping when the run-off runs out. Further along we change into dry hiking boots and pass through stands of aspen and firs.
Lunch is served at Barely Flat meadow which has a wonderful spring.
Good stamina required. Give it your best shot. Not for the Effort Challenged. Yerba Canyon from NM Rt. 150 to Lobo Peak.
