Nature Made run-off strems found in the Sandia and Manzano Mountains... These strems are form yearly or are year-round strems that are formed for the winter snow melting and spring rains. The strem in the Sanida's is based sole of winter run-off. This year the area in which this strem is normally found did not reseve enough winter snow or early spring rain so it is slowly drying up as the spring heat starts to roll in.



This is the picture of the view from above the caves found above the "spring/run-off strem"
This is about a 45 minute rock climb from where my grandparents live.
Absolutly beautiful view!

This strem is a year round strem that depends on winter snow from the Sandia crest. There is no animal life in the strem but is filled with plant life.
