Seventh Annual Hassey "Goat Vacation"
#10
The "waterfall" hike was so short that we decided to explore another trail. We ended up on the old Lucero Peak trail, which looks like it is barely used any more and hasn't been maintained in a couple of decades. So much for our plan to “take it easy”! This was a very steep trail and it never relented! It appeared to be well-worn at one time, but logs have fallen across it in many places now. Luckily that does not stop goats! 

We had a nice view of Taos on our way up.   
   

The trail eventually petered out and we scrambled up a very steep, rocky slope with slippery dirt footing toward a rock outcropping where I thought we might have a good lookout. Here's me looking out very nobly with my miniature packgoat looking out in the background. How did he suddenly get so small?  
   

Phil looks out at a thunderstorm brewing over a distant mountain peak. 
   

Finn looks out and then looks back.
   

And Sputnik says, "I'm tired of looking out. I want something to eat."
