We spent a fun weekend in Red River (NM) and took a day trip up to Goose Lake. It was about 7 miles off road on a moderately challenging trail to get to this lake, located in the mountains at 11,500-foot elevation. At the top it was a bit crowded with lots of day-trippers in UTVs. Unfortunately due to the traffic, the "visitors" do not appear to be taking care of this little bit of heaven. There was a lot of trash and mounds of toilet paper and other "products" spread around the parking area at the top. It was worth the trip due to the beauty of the lake. We had a deep-water crossing on the way out which was a bit deeper than on the way in. This was because of the rainstorm that came through.

I really can not understand how a person can "throw garbage out" in nature. This is so stupid. Especially when it comes to a developed country like the USA.
