Cienega Ride in December

In Decemeber, my friend and I decided to haul up to Cienega Canyon to ride.

Trail Selfie!

Dana and Blaze...blazing trail!

It was a bit chilly in the shade, but the leftover Fall colors were beautiful.

Riding on the south facing, exposed trails was warm in the sunshine.

Loving Life Trail Selfie!

I always enjoy riding with my buddy Dana. We like to take turns leading and following.

Up we go!

I'm so grateful that Apache listens to my right leg on narrow trails with steep drop-offs. These kinds of trails can be butt-pucker experiences even without a one-eye horse. haha!

Here we come!

The Forest Service and trail volunteers have been doing a lot of work to maintain these trails so nicely.

When we dropped down into Sulphur Canyon, it was bitter cold! The canyon was almost entirely in the shade of trees and sits down low in between steep hillsides.

It was cold but still very beautiful!

Even without leaves on the trees, these trails are still pretty.

I love riding in the mountains most of all!

We really enjoyed our December ride and we we're so grateful that snow hadn't closed the Cienega trails yet.

Life is Good!
