I did Trotter up to hummingbird saddle and down to Redstone Park that same year in May and there was still lots of snow! Did you guys stop by Jordan hot spring on your way out Middle fork? I of my all time fave spots! Nice work

    Great pictures, and a really nice song choice too! So many people here listen to latino music, but in the wilderness areas like that, I just love some nice classical music. I live near the Jemez mountains now. I love NM.

    I backpacked Whitewater to Hummingbird Saddle and then back down the east and south fork trails this spring 2008 with a friend for 4 nights 5 days and it was beautiful!! There is even water from springs at the top of the 9,000 and 10,000FT peaks and its all water filter friendly! I’m going back next spring in 2009 for more backpacking fun!

    I really enjoyed your photo log. I have a place near the Gila Wilderness and am planning on building a vacation/retirement home there in the not too distant future to take advantage of its proximity to do much of the same as you’ve done.

    We used to backpack in the Gilas in the 70’s. Several times in the snow. Mostly Hummingbird Saddle and Whitewater Baldy and Redstone(?) Canyon. Could always catch a few trout at the canyon. Great place. Used to be some nice folks in Mogollon, that would invite us in when we came through. Thanks for sharing.
