In the foothills above Beale AFB there is a very pretty little water Fall called Fairy Falls, also know as Beale Falls from when the Airforce owned the land. Here are a few shots I took on the hike. All questions, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hi NMGal
Thanks for checking out the images from the hike and for the comment. I may post another set with more of the flowers as I ended up taking a lot more pictures on the hike and just picked a variety of shots for this post.

In the 70’s I was stationed there at Beale. Used to run my horses and Great Danes out in the old Army training grounds. We had an easy access out from the base stables. It was BLM property at that time as I remember. Used to fish and hunt along the creek that becomes Beale Lake. Had the rancher that leased the acreage give me a rant for scaring his cattle when I was hunting doves from my swayback roan. I was young, had no clue.
Your photos brought me back in time for a bit. Thank you.
