The trail does a big arch through this burned area.

A view of the ridgeline I will be on shortly. The trail goes away around here, so I bushwhacked a short section to get to the ridge.

On the ridgeline. The trail goes to the left, and then curves around up to Manzano Peak (right).

Along the ridge.

Mostly obstructed views along the ridgeline.

Manzano Peak ahead.

Full ridgeline visible from a small clearing at the base of Manzano Peak.
