[Bloated Chipmunk]

This is a nice, fairly easy loop hike in the Laguna Mtns. that I'd 1st hiked last yr. on my b-day, & this time I posted it on my meetup so others could enjoy it as well.  It has a great mix of desert views & forested meadows, & includes a short off-trail section to a peak.  It was just 3 of us on this quiet Monday, & we saw few others on the trail.

The route:

The 1st leg of the hike, to Foster Point & Pk. 5,958':

The 2nd leg, through the pine trees:

@ our lunch stop in the woods, where we saw some turkeys:
