Headed out to Ruidoso for a long weekend Wednesday. Wife decided she'd like to spend a day day-hiking somewhere in the area.

Looking for an 8 to 12 mile day hike with water available along the way (streams or ponds). Plan on carrying my ULA Catalyst loaded up with hammock kits for two souls for that ever popular trail side lunch and nap.

I've hiked in New Mexico before, but never around Ruidoso. Anyone have any trail suggestions?
