Las Conchas Trail Hike – 07/26/2019
This hike isn’t technically in the Valles Caldera National Preserve, but it is so close – we’re associating them. And this Las Conchas Trail on the East Fork of the Jemez River has intrigued us for some time, but we … Continue reading
Little Tesuque-Carol’s-Juan Trails Hike – 06/16/2019
Another hike near Santa Fe (thus, having a new tag: Urban for hikes easily accessible for folks living in the city). This makes a quite nice loop, with easy trail surfaces and moderate elevation changes and slopes. It begins … Continue reading
The Volcanoes Trail Hike – 05/14/2019
Today we headed to the Volcanoes for a other “Urban” hike, places close to the city offering quite easy hiking conditions. From our upstairs window we look out at the Volcanoes each morning so they constantly beckon us. The Drive … Continue reading
Oak Flats-Ponderosa Trails Hike – 05/09/2019
‘Twas a chilly day with rain all around, but we wanted to get out for a hike. Chose the Ponderosa trail because it was easy (we’d hiked it back in 2016). Mother Nature had blessed the area with rain within … Continue reading
El Malpais-Narrows Rim Hike – 03/26/2014

Mesa Trail #15 Hike – 09/12/2018
Returning from Tucson by way of Glenwood, driving along US 60 some 20 miles west of Socorro, a sign to Water Canyon Campground caught our attention – we thought that there might be camping and hiking in those Magdalena Mountains. … Continue reading
Cottonwood Canyon Hike – 09/04/2018
Leaving D and D’s Organic Haven headed for home, again we looked for an opportunity for a hike along the way. Heading north on US 180 from Glenwood, we “spontaneously” stopped at a small campground, and it looked promising. The … Continue reading
Cliff Ruins Expedition – 08/20/2018
Lanny and I had seen a video by Jeff Gilkey flying over Pueblo ruins atop a small mesa, specifically Mesa Pueblo. We located them using GoogleEarth, and headed that way. The Drive In As you can see from the red … Continue reading
Bandelier Hike – 08/16/2018
For our final outing of the trip, we took Thomas to Bandelier National Monument. After the ride from White Rock on the shuttle, we started in the shade of the cottonwoods along the river where it was cooler. The Walkabout … Continue reading
