My 06/09/24 postcard captures a vibrant wildflower from the Cienega Canyon trail in the Cibola National Forest. We discovered this trail, nestled in the mountains just 30 minutes from home, years ago. Back then, its steep climb tested our endurance. Now, it feels normal to walk it, enjoying every step of the scenic loop.
