After wandering around the waterfall, I decided to make a longer (2 mile) hike back to the Jemez Warm Springs. I walked and walked, through brush and slush, continaully aware of the sinking sun. I realized I had no idea how long 2 miles was, and didn't know exactly where the springs were (I was informed by other trekkers that they're not marked and not easy to find). I started to doubt whether I had walked far enough or too far, and was concerned about being trapped in the middle of nowhere when the sun sets (for a more tragic ending, please refer to Craig's Yosemite story). Anyway, after saying "If I don't see it around this bend..." for several bends, I decided to turn back. However, I did manage to snap this picture from a rocky outcropping high above the valley below.
