Flying Again

Eagle screamed and we let him fly, 


 fifty miles through the Chihuahuan Desert


to the heart of the Lincoln National Forest.


We let him rest while we explored Sitting Bull Falls.  Since the US Forest Service maintains this popular recreation area at the location of the falls it requires a daily fee or a National Parks Pass.  They have constructed about a dozen nice picnic shelters,

each with two large picnic tables and two grills.

From the upper parking lot a paved path leads about 1/2 mile past the picnic shelters to the pack of the canyon



to the falls--there is one on the left of the main one.




We stayed on the viewing platform, but most people
opt to take the stairs down to the pools at the base of the falls.
  


After enjoying the canyon views for a few minutes, walked back to the parking lot where Eagle was ready to reverse his flight for home.



Excellent!
