... who knows whether it was part of an Easter Egg hunt, or had been dropped somewhere on the trail? It was nestled on a fallen tree stump at the top of the Borrego/Bear Wallow/Winsor Trail loop, up towards the ski basin - always one of my favorite Santa Fe trails, with aspen and creeks and wildflower (and two new bridges over Tesuque Creek - it always used to be log bridges, or hopping over stones). There were lots of post-winter fallen trees, and patches of snow - but plenty of signs of spring, and ideal hiking weather. The Borrego trail is the old shepherds' trail down into Santa Fe from the northern new Mexican villages, so one's treading in ancient hoofprints all the way up the return leg (assuming one's doing it clockwise).
Next time ... I've just discovered (you probably have all known it for years) an app called All Trails, which one can download - as I've just done - and it will tell you even when you have no cell coverage (which there isn't, out there) exactly where you are on a trail, and I want to head off and explore some of the ones south of us, in the Galisteo Preserve ...
