Getting to the highest point at Santa Fe Ski takes about an hour of SLOW progress. Up hill hiking in thin air provides ample opportunity to pause and enjoy the view across the valley to Los Alamos, the one time secret location of the Manhattan Project.
In town it feels like fall + summer = fummer. But up here at 12,000 feet the ski hill employees are getting ready for a new season. Trickles of water flow under thin patches of ice. Winds chap your face to a bright red. And aspens transition from yellow to brown. Riding the lift for a better view just $12.
On an abandoned road outside Santa Fe New Mexico I surprised this coyote looking for a meal. At my home just up the road it’s common to see a roadrunner around the structure looking for small lizards and bugs. Overall a good example of the food chain here in the high desert.
