The waterfall on the mountain
This waterfall marks the halfway point on the hike up to Middle Fork Lake, outside of Red River, NM. It is a great spot to rest and relax during the tiring march up the mountain. There used to be a wooden footbridge across the water, but it apparently washed away or something, so now you are left with two choices: try your luck on the various logs, or just decide you are gonna get wet and march through it. I took the logs since I was camera-laden. The nice thing about a tripod is that it makes a great walking stick when you need the help! I stood across a few logs, set up the tripod in the stream, and snapped away. I stayed dry, though my mom slipped and landed on her bum. Oops!
