We enjoyed 3 unexpected days in New Mexico and are happy the weather put us in this location. We're not sure we would have ever stopped by to check out these National Monuments otherwise.
El Malpais National Monument
 |
| Sandstone Bluffs Overlook |
 |
| La Ventana Natural Arch |
 |
| Lava Falls |
 |
| Heading into Junction Cave - yes, that's snow! |
 |
| It was close quarters in some sections and you did have to crawl through |
 |
You had to squeeze through this little hole in the gate
If you couldn't make it through this you wouldn't make it far in the cave! |
 |
| El Calderon Trail - since we spent the winter in the desert we soaked in the beauty of the snow for a few days |
 |
| Continental Divide Trail |
El Morro National Monument
Bandera Volcano and Ice Cave
 |
| The floor is ice all year round |
 |
| Bandera Crater |
 |
| Tom says I must always go too far! I don't know what he's talking about! |
We've made our way from New Mexico through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas (and a stop at the Hot Springs National Park and Buffalo National River), Tennessee and are now in Kentucky by Mammoth Cave National Park. Soon heading back to PA!
Til next time...Happy Trails!
