When the first settlers ventured into the area in the 1800s, they found a trail of sorts which they believed was used by Indians and game. They named this the Highline Trail because of the trail's location on a high contour on the ridges below the Mogollon Rim.
The Highline Trail weaves through woods of ponderosa pine, piñon, juniper, and fir. The trail wends its way across creeks and under massive rim outcroppings. Unfortunately, we only saw dry creek beds on this hike.
An agave plant beginning to bloom.
Clusters of agave. Randy has started some agave plants from seed and they are ready to transplant. We're thinking we should try and plant them in a cluster like this.
In 1979, the Highline Trail was designated as a National Recreation Trail.
Note: Argo and Cooper love this trail.
