Salmon Run Trail

 Salmon Run Trail is a 5 mile (10 mile round trip) located in Heron State Park. Starting at the Heron dam, and ending at the visitor center, or vice versa. No real elevation gain, so the hike is relatively moderate.

 Hilltop looking towards Taos.

 Guess this is where all the tumbleweed ends up. Whole area was packed full of it!

Destination. They also will receive UPS and Fed Ex packages for you here, unless you are unfortunate enough to get the lazy UPS driver, then youll have to drive to the Los Ojos post office.

Man made Ospreys nest up close.

 You can continue your hike for another 3 miles from the visitor center on the east meadow trail which leads to the a lookout to see the source of Heron Lake.

All the water used to fill Lake Heron is run through a series of underground tunnels the longest being the Azotea tunnel running a length of 12.8 miles under the continental divide.

My camp in the trees in the distance from the trail. Thanks for visiting! Good Day!
