For nearly two weeks now we've been working up our stamina to attempt this hike.
Mule Ears Spring Trail is a 4-mile round trip hike with a cumulative elevation change of 800 feet. It's more of a roller coaster type trail, a long uphill followed by a long downhill with a stretch of level hiking in between. This was repeated several times before we reached the spring.
About half way out on the trail we caught up to another couple of hikers who were about the same age as we were and we mutually agreed to hike the balance of the trail together. Safety in numbers and all that.
They are visiting from Santa Fe, NM and it was also their first time on the trail. We enjoyed their company and conversation so much we decided to share a lunch in Terlinga after the hike.
Turns out they are camped right across the street from our favorite food truck, so that's where we met for lunch. They had already eaten there so they knew the food was delicious.
