Quebradas-Ojo de Amado Hikes- 03/12/2020

Bosque Trail Morning Walk – 03/22/2020

Cerro Cuate Expedition – 03/03/2020

Hawk Watch Trail Hike – 10/27/2019
This was a return to a trail that always intrigues me – one that someday I hope to take to the top of South Sandia peak. It is so close at hand – just beyond Tramway (the eastern boundary of … Continue reading
Fourth of July, Cerro Blanco, Manzano Crest Trails Hike – 10/03/2019
Fourth of July Campground and the Trail are a favorite place to visit in autumn. The maple trees burst forth in autumn with colors that rival that of the flowers during spring and summer in New Mexico. The Drive In … Continue reading
