ManSolo

There is a trail to the bottom showing on my Gaia below where I made it. Next time I will aim for the Rio.

Live from La Mesa de Los Viejos above the Chama River Canyon. It is a wind, cloud and sun kind of morning with the most amazing light show!

It was a challenge to reach! The roads get worse the closer they get to the gorge...

Live from Caja del Rio looking downstream toward Cochiti Reservoir. The Rio Grande is flowing strong, though I won't see it this morning. The Caja is Huge! 🏃🏻‍♂️

This morning, Truchas Peaks from the SE ridge of Picuris Peak, in the Carson Nat'l Forest north of Peñasco, New Mexico. Winter is coming!

Wow! I've done several 3 hour runs down and across Embudo Creek and Ojo Sarco Creek. A land of much effort!

This morning, Jemez Mountains from the hills above Dixon, New Mexico below Picuris Pueblo.

This morning. Pecos River flowing well south of Bernal, New Mexico.

The photo is from the Pecos Pueblo looking north up the Pecos River canyon

Could be Deception and Lake on the left and Penitente in the middle.

Hope you can see the super moon this evening!

This fall, I've been starting earlier and running with a headlamp the first 20-30 minutes, and am thrilled that it puts me that much higher when the sky fire happens!

Right now. By 🏃🏻‍♂️ way up above La Ventana Arch in the Malpais, I proved to myself there is no way to reach the top of the arch...

Right now. Looking north across the Malpais toward sacred Tsoodzil (Mount Taylor) bound for the Mangas Mountains south of Pie Town.
Happy Halloween!

Sunrise over the Sangre de Cristos Mountains

This morning, Sangre de Cristos from hills between Ojo Caliente and Petaca, New Mexico

Was he with the First Colorado Volunteers?

Thanks for his service! I have run the mesa where the Union troops outflanked the Rebels and 🔥 their wagons at Apache Canyon, thus ending the planned march to California.

Ruins of Spanish Church with morning sun in front of Rowe Mesa

Right now. Ruins of the Pecos Pueblo Spanish church, built in 1717 on the foundation of the previous 1619 church, which Pueblo Warriors destroyed in the.first successful American revolution in 1680.

Morning sun and fresh snow on the High Pesks of the Sangre de Cristos

Right now. Snow on the high peaks of the Sangres! 😃 In Alaska this early snow is called termination dust, which may fall in early September. ❄️ I had to dig my window scraper out of the garage this morning 😆

What a super memory to have. Hope you have photos.

That must've been an amazing trip! I've been up to Pecos Falls and up to Pecos Baldy. How many nights was the big loop?

For one reason or another, I've been saving that area. I hear it is beautiful up there!

Mountains and blue sky in Billy the Kid country

Right now. Carrizo Mountains from the Vera Cruz Mountains, which are SE toward the Capitans.
Beautiful and remote wild lands, perfect for October.

Most recently 2022. I remain reluctant to venture toward Ruidoso, given the fires/flooding since then. Strength to all who have made it through.

Fall colors on the 10,000'+ Capitan Mountains.

Turns out much of Nogal Peak has burned, so I 🏃🏻‍♂️ up west from Capitan Gap opposite the main massif of the Capitans, New Mexico's only prominent east-west range.

Right now. Nogal Peak NW of Ruidoso from my 🏃🏻‍♂️ in the Capitan Mountains. I aim to 🏃🏻‍♂️ up there tomorrow after capturing a comet ☄️ tonight.
Stay tuned. I am online a thousand feet above Capitan, New Mexico!

I used to live in Alaska and ran outdoors year round. Told myself I'd never again let the weather keep me from 🏃🏻‍♂️... Headed to the Jicarilla now 😀

Great rains tho!

We have yet to dip under 40 in Santa Fe... 😕
