From the Rincon exit, head east for about 1/4 mile( parallel to the big wash and railroad tracks) then turn north on the rough road.Drive 3/10 of a mile to the large barite mine excavation and park. Hike northwest on the road out of the barite mine for around a 1/4 mile as it circles around a rocky hill with small mine tunnels. On the north side of the hill below you is the canyon with petroglyphs. You should see some cave like alcove across from where you stand. Images are both upstream and downstream from this point.Devon Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420276569501950892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589004864752648311.post-76848916734721611362018-07-22T09:50:18.460-07:002018-07-22T09:50:18.460-07:00I have been unsuccessful in 4 attempts to find the...I have been unsuccessful in 4 attempts to find the Petroglyphs at Rincon (I-25, Exit 35). I have driven both east parallel to the railroad tracks and also North to where the trail ends for vehicles. Please help me in getting to the Petroglyphs for photos. I have read your entry and DScott's entries and am still confused.

I forgot to mention, because it's a rarity, but if we continue to get winter rain, the desert areas right around here in Las Cruces green up, and we get wonderful wildflowers- especially california poppies.<br />Devon Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420276569501950892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589004864752648311.post-66691629595825123202015-02-17T08:33:27.157-08:002015-02-17T08:33:27.157-08:00Thank you for your input Devon!Thank you for your input Devon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333521677264838485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589004864752648311.post-30720685769141856462015-02-12T16:41:16.796-08:002015-02-12T16:41:16.796-08:00Most of those photos are taken in June or July.

I did and April hike last year in San Andres Canyon and it looked pretty nice, the spring was flowing, the maples had leafed out and there was even a little bit of grass. If you can wait, I'd shoot for later in April.Check out the Osha Trail hike in my Archives for what the area looks like in the third week or so of April.Devon Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420276569501950892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589004864752648311.post-32906260951096701792015-02-12T16:32:15.367-08:002015-02-12T16:32:15.367-08:00That really isn't a good time of year for lush... That really isn't a good time of year for lush and green as it's at beginning of our dry windy season. Higher elevation areas are still pretty cold with little growth. If the winter continues to be wet, lower elevation mountains may green up nicely before drying out in April and May.The Sacramento Mountains around Cloudcroft and High Rolls may be your best bet( if not covered in snow from a March storm).<br />Devon Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420276569501950892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589004864752648311.post-14062026358759706342015-02-12T13:16:55.094-08:002015-02-12T13:16:55.094-08:00Hi Devon,

We're looking for some lush green scenery like in your 2010 posts - Bonita Lake, South Fork Bonito Creek, Tularosa Creek. <br />Do you have any recommendations on areas that would be lush and green in S NM that time of year and that wouldn't have snow cover?<br /> <br />Best Regards, <br />SherieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333521677264838485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589004864752648311.post-89231369975735857872013-06-01T19:52:46.765-07:002013-06-01T19:52:46.765-07:00I wish you would contact me about caves and rock a...I wish you would contact me about caves and rock art around las cruces.
