We will leave El Paso Friday afternoon and drive to the Cottonwood Campground north of Glenwood, New Mexico. Saturday morning we will drive about 1/2 mile north on U.S. 180 and turn on Forest Road # 232, which we follow to our trailhead at Pueblo Park Campground. We will hike trail #43 to our campsite along a flowing stream near Pup Creek. We tried to do this hike several years ago, but had to cancel due to lack of participation. Let’s make it different this time. Sign up now and join us on a new hike to a rarely visited Wilderness.

Starting early Saturday morning from the Cottonwood Springs trailhead in the Tom Mays Unit of Franklin Mountains State Park, we will follow a good, though rocky, trail up the ridgeline to Mundy's Gap, where we should have great views to both the East and West. Get out early and be back for lunch, or take along a snack to enjoy on the trail.
