<html><body style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><p>I got into Grants today. I just hiked the CDT alternate trail over the lava west from the Zuni Acoma trailhead off Hwy 117 and then thru Bonita and Zuni Canyons--it was great to avoid hiking on hwy 117 into Grants. The cactus was blooming in the lava and I enjoyed taking my time to enjoy the lava formations. I also enjoyed the historical aspect of hiking on a trail between the Zuni and Acoma pueblos. It took me about 5 hours to cross the lava--I took my time. The trail is extremely well marked by cairns.The Mumm's cache is on Hwy 53 on the west end of the Zuni Acoma Trail. Bonita Canyon was a wide beautiful canyon with blooming desert primrose and a well with water about 3.4 miles north of Hwy 53. The only drawback was coming out on the opposite end of Grants from the Travel lodge, however you are very close to fresh donuts at "Wows" at the Hwy 53 junction in Grants.</p>
