Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument

This park surrounds the confluence of the Rio Grande and The Red River. There is one pic of the confluence off in the distance. The Red is on the left. All of the hikes down to the rivers are rocky and steep. We hiked down to the Red River above the confluence. The trail was one switchback after another. After we returned to the top we both decided doing that once was plenty. The town of Red River is only 15, uphill miles, from us. We ate dinner there last night and it was excellent, so we will go back there tonight. Tomorrow we should be in The Panhandle of Oklahoma at a small town called  Beaver. That will be a one night stand.
