I enjoyed this original webpage so much... that I just must leave it up. Unfortunately, Mary does not host wilderness experiences anymore, but she does do ware-able art and still lives at the boundary of New Mexico’s amazing Pecos Wilderness. see: www.motherspirit.us
I recently hiked
into Mary’s Waterfall and San Leonardo Lakes - here are my photos and notes:
I appreciate Mary sharing her waterfall with me and you... it is a
sweet little waterfall maybe 16’ high with a couple tiers and a big old knarlly tree stump at it’s base
...and below is Brian standing among the falls of what we call San Leonardo
Cascades
This next photo below is Mary’s Cathedral which is known publicly
as “San Leonardo Lake”, and the
largest fields of perpetual snow in New Mexico…!!! Photo: August 2016
And finally Little San Leonardo Lake – unfortunately these two
amazing lakes have no trout – but they are beautiful
