Grants, NM My feet are happy to be in Grants I started after cowboy camping at the last of the Chain of Craters. I had a few sprinkles overnight, but got up and out early I got to the El Malpais visitor center to fill water and then went in search of Jon Ley’s shortcut to the Bonita/Zuni Canyon route. I found it and lost it, but no big deal. I just kept going northeast and found some really nice tread that took me to it. It was the most enjoyable hiking of the day From here I thought it…
