What May feels like
May is when the bosque trails along the river are at their best and the evenings stay warm enough to sit out without a plan. Locals treat the last weeks of the month as the deadline for a La Luz Trail attempt before the bottom of the mountain gets too hot.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
