The Catwalks

We headed north on Rt. 180 up to the town of Glenwood, NM, where a series of catwalks has been built hanging off the inside of a canyon wall. It's not often you get to see a canyon from the inside. The walk was absolutely beautiful and a pretty good walk. The catwalk actually follows the path of the pipelines which serviced the old gold and silver mines up here. The mine operated until 1942. At this time of year, we are having most places to ourselves again. The area was also home to one of the largest ranches ever known, the Lyons-Campbell or LC Ranch which was 60 miles north to south and 40 east to west. Like most of the open ranches out here, it is fenced and cattle graze on it. On several occasins we have seen cowboys bringing herds down into the valleys from higher elevations for winter or for slaughter. Most of these cowboys ride ATV's these days.
