Go Take a Hike.
 One thing I never took much advantage of as a kid was the proximity of the Sandia Mountains and their foothills to my house. A five minute drive will put you at the base of the foothills, complete with many a trail and cacti to run into. (Ouch). Also complete with many a gorgeous view. I hit the trail, found a rock and sat on it, and made sure all was operating as it should in the city of Albuquerque and beyond. The view stretched past the Rio Grande Valley and out to Mt. Taylor and the volcano cones. The weather was perfect. Yes, I needed a hoodie. And some coffee. I'm a bourgeoisie hiker, ok? How high? VERY. More favorite things: road and blue sky.Labels: newmexico, photoessay |

post a commentAwesome pictures! That first picture of you is fantastic. And that last picture of the road and the sky is brilliant. Also, your pictures make me really really can't wait to go home. I love me my Burque.
Blue sky, huh? It's a good thing I'll be in Albuquerque in a few weeks, or else I'd be painfully homesick from your post.
Wow, nice pix. I was about that far from the mountains in Boulder when I lived there for a while, and luckily I had a roommate who inspired me to go out there often.
