| partners | | Second hike of the day, and one of our two main objectives. I’ve walked a little bit of this one before, but never the full loop around the mesa. Went clockwise, generally following the path. Nice views, especially to the north and east. It was also interesting to be able to see Humphreys, Escudilla, and Baldy from up here. Took a lot of pics, although they all look pretty similar.
The path got more vague after passing Billings Gap Overlook, but we generally followed the edge of the mesa and picked up the main path here and there. There are some really big chunks of petrified wood at the base of the mesa, and zooming in with a phone camera doesn’t do them justice.
Nice easy hike with no other people around. After this one, we went over to Blue Mesa loop. While Billings Gap lets you view from above, Blue Mesa takes you down into the badlands, so seeing everything from both perspectives is good. |
