The Catwalk National Recreation Trail

— This was a very fun hiking trail in New Mexico. The first part of the trail is fairly easy and offers some refreshing wading pools and some waterfalls. The catwalk itself is a very scenic and shaded trail. The name originated from the original board walk that existed on top of the pipe system that carried water to the mineral processing plant. After you pass this first section of the trail, it becomes more difficult. We only did the first section and had time to stop and go wading in those refreshing waters. The trail is located in the Mogollon Mountains in the Gila Forest.
