Spring Break 2013 - Mountain Climbing

On our driving tour around Las Cruces, we went as close to the Organ Mountains as we could! I love these mountains, they are so pretty. Jonathan and Ben have never seen mountains like this, so I was hoping for an oppourtunty for Jonathan to get out and explore a little. Thankfully we were able to! Ben had fallen asleep, so Michael and Grandma stayed with Ben and parked at the base of the trail and Jonathan and I went "mountain climbing"...okay more like, we walked up a steep hill. But we had fun!

This was as close as we could get to the Organ Mountains.

I'm following Jonthan up the mountain. He has a rock collection, so we had fun collecting all sorts of rocks on our way up.

This was as high as we went! I told him to go over there and say, "I'M THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN!"

Us on our way down!

There is the rest of the mountain...there was a ways to go to get all the way to the top!

And the map.
