点评:My family and I had already been to Bandelier National Monument and then Valles Caldera that long morning. We were tired and had no intention of doing more hiking. But I had read good things about this trailhead and just wanted to get out of the car and step onto it. And it was oh so beautiful--absolutely magical! It's just 3.1 miles (4 minutes) west of Valles Caldera, right on Highway 4. Be on the lookout for it or you'll miss it. There's a small parking area for five or six cars and then a short flight of steps down onto the open space along the river before the actual trail begins. We spent perhaps 15 minutes there just walking in the bright green grass, gazing up at the towering trees and the stone walls. I'm so glad we took that little extra time. I'll never forget it.
