We started at Frijole Ranch and checked out the grounds there. Unfortunately, the house itself was not open and so we headed over to Manzanita Springs.
After a quick stop we hit the trail again. There were lots of flowers in bloom including madrones
and many others I could not identify.
There were also lots of great views in all directions.
Eventually we made our way to the shady oasis of Smith Spring.
We sat on a stone bench there where we ate some snacks and then headed back onto the trail which looped back to the car.
It was a wonderful hike with some wonderful people!

That was my introduction to the Guadalupe Mountains--it was a beautiful trail, especially in the autumn when the leaves were turning!
