Tularosa Basin and White Sands from the line cabin, Dog Canyon Trail, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo, New Mexico, February 2, 2008

The view down canyon from the Dog Canyon line cabin

What a neat spot the builders of this little stone cabin chose; a spot perfectly situated to offer its residents a nice view from their front yard down through Dog Canyon to the white sands of the Tularosa Basin below. The trail coming up Dog Canyon drops down off the second bench just to the left of that big rock you see up there on the left, crosses the crick with its supply of fresh water and comes into this little copse from the left.

Sorry about the lousy picture. The lighting from the mid day sun wasn't kind to this neophyte photographer and his total reliance on the camera to take care of these little lighting details. I've got a bit to learn about this photography business.
