In March, I hiked twice. I graced Cibola National Forest and Dinosaur Valley State Park with my presence and had nice little hikes in each. Check it out.
Hike 7 - Dinosaur Valley State Park - Texas
Trail: Cedar Brake Outer Loop, Rocky Ridge, Black Capped Vireo
Date: Sunday, March 7th
Distance: 6.2 miles
Distance From Home: 75 miles
Weather: Partly Sunny, Windy
Trail Notes: Was a nice day, water was a little high
I needed a good hike and figured it was time to hit the old standby. Dinosaur Valley is always a go-to for a good hike close to the DFW metro area. With me on the journey was Chew the dog, my other half, and my best friend. We did several trails and weaved our way through, avoiding any major crowds which were mostly near the river.
Hike 8 - Tunnel Canyon - New Mexico
Trail: Birdhouse Ridge
Date: Saturday, March 14
Distance: 2.31 miles
Distance From Home: 614 miles
Weather: Sunny, cool
Trail Notes: This was at sundown
A nice little trail system in the Cibola National Forest outside of Albuquerque, NM. I didn’t have a lot of time before dark, and I was on a conference call, so I only did about two miles. I followed the ridge, and if time had permitted, I could have looped back in the canyon. I can’t wait to get back out there to finish this loop and explore other trails in the area.
