Gila National Forest

Quemado (burnt) Lake in central New Mexico is a relatively quiet recreation area with dropping water levels that have restored boat use, which is a gain for hikers who like to peacefully trek its 1.2 mile perimeter.

The San Francisco River winds through this bend. A 3.5 mile hike (round trip) drops you into the valley to play in numerous hot springs that feed into the river. Beautiful in the springtime!

Caterpillars! These webbed wombs contain hundreds of emerging caterpillars along the river's edge in springtime.
