New Mexico Adventures!






In July, Brian and I spent five days exploring New Mexico, and we made it to three corners of the state (needless to say, we did a lot of driving, but the landscape was so beautiful and changeable that we didn't mind). We visited Chaco Canyon National Park, and the First Nation ruins there; the Gila Cliff dwellings (more First Nation ruins that were incredibly beautiful); the White Sands desert; Carlsbad Caverns (where you walk 75 stories underground to find immense caverns teeming with stalagmites and stalactites, and where 10,000 Mexican freetail bats emerge at dusk every evening - very cool); and Roswell (I'll do a separate post about that). It was a wonderful way to celebrate our 15th anniversary.
