Mogollon and Mineral Creek

August 15, 2026

Between a generous monsoon, high prices for diesel and the decline and loss of a beloved pet, this has been a summer of limited travel. Instead, we have focused on enjoying the special places close to home that convinved us to move here in the first place. Time for a short hike in a well-known wet canyon, and a tour of the nearby ghost town of Mogollon.

While browsing in a coffee shop, we found a flier for an Air B & B, and by the time we finished our coffee, we had booked a stay for our 20th anniversary. Looking forward to it!
