Tried to Walk Apache Springs Trail Yesterday

Yesterday, spouse and I drove up the escarpment into the Jemez to the Apache Springs Trail to hike and enjoy Fall colors.  When we got to the trailhead, a fire truck was blocking the parking lot entrance and more two police cars were blocking the entrance across the street to the FR181/American Springs Road and more emergency vehicles were over there.  As we drove by, spouse asked the fireman directing traffic what was going on but the only answer was there was a situation they were handling.  We turned around at the parking lot for the old Girl Scout camp and drove down to Ponderosa Campground and walked the Upper Crossing Trail.  Spouse went as far as Frijoles Canyon while I walked down into the canyon.  I saw two hikers coming up as I was going down.  I turned around after crossing the Rito de los Frijoles' bridge but one day, I'd like to continue on the Upper Crossing Trail to the mesa top above.  That would be a lot of good elevated heart rate!
