Rabbit Mountain Loop

This afternoon we did the Rabbit Mountain Loop at Valles Caldera National Preserve, about 3 miles with 450 ft of gain, getting up 9,200 ft of altitude. We went clockwise on the loop through a mostly burnt forest. We did see some golden aspens and wildflowers along with a good view of the caldera below. View towards Rabbit Mountain and the south rim of the caldera from the Visitor Center parking area inside the caldera.
