Bush-whacking and cacti

I don't think those 2 words should ever be used in the same sentence....

We went hiking in the Sandia's this weekend. Our initial plans were to hike the old La Luz trail to avoid the traffic of the current La Luz trail. We got side tracked a little when noticing a quiet trail with big boulders and decided to take the "short cut". A long story short; The trail disappeared and we didn't want to go down some of the big boulders we managed to climb up on so we BUSHWHACKED UP THROUGH THE CACTI to get up to a ridge to join the trail again....!!! And yes, we were wearing shorts!

When starting out in the parking lot...




Gorgeous waterfall, at the point where the trail 'disappeared'.....



and started looking like this....




instead of like this.....



We lived through it, without stitches.... and a few days later are no longer looking like we had a fight with a dozen cats....
