Meet Molly and her dog Mojo.  And you already recognize Stan.

Because I am constantly taking photos, I usually lag behind.  This is a chilly morning and even the birds are just starting to o wake up. By the way, if it looks as though I tilted my cell phone camera, you'll notice that the trail is level along with Stan and Molly,  The trees seemed to be leaning toward the sun in this narrow canyon.

The first of several stream crossings.

It pays to look up now and then.  Part of the beauty of this trail are the towering cliffs and changing colors in the rock.

And now and then one needs to look behind.  As we crossed the creek once more, this scene was waiting to be noticed.

Sometimes narrow; sometimes broad and open, this is a fun trail.

One more stream crossing.  This is where the poles can come in handy.

My SEEK app identified this as Penny Cress.

New Mexican Groundsel

We reach a spot where we evaluate whether or not we want to get our boots wet on this cold morning.  

"The Bathtub" is a fine terminus to this trail.  

The hike back out is just as pretty.  Take your time and listen to the bird calls.  You may even meet a few birders on the way!
