A few miles northeast of Glenwood, NM is the Catwalk Recreational Area. There is a $5/day day use fee, although the old geezer pass avoids it. The trail is only 2.4 miles, and the first part is mainly flat, following a mining pipeline through Whitewater Canyon.
Callie wasn’t too excited in the beginning to walk on the catwalk but quickly learned that she wouldn’t fall through
The end of the catwalks is where most visitors stop their hike, but we continued on through three stream crossings to the end of the trail defined by Alltrails.
Eventually, the trail began climbing steeply, and we took a photo at the apparent top.
In fact, someone thoughtfully wrote on a rock that we had reached the end.
Alas, it only appeared that way because, with a short rock scramble, the trail continued on.
Not that there were any great things to see after that point, but I hate false summits.
