The colors were amazing, brilliant oranges and yellows, worthy of a painting but instead only captured by cameras. It was with that brilliant light that I fell in love with the wilderness. This was my first time truly outside. Not just in the woods, or a few miles from a road.

The map of the area is wrong. The trail on the map continues due west from the pass, then descends a steep embankment down to Boulder Creek. In reality, the trail turns south and follows a sharp ridgeline gradually to the water. This way down to the creek was stunning.

Let me offer some well-researched advice on how to have an amazing RV outdoor adventure filled vacation.
The first thing I learned at Black Elk Peak was to never wear the wrong socks to a mountain hike. Its worse than bringing a knife to a gunfight. It’s like bringing a toy sword to a gunfight. Inappropriate and painful.
Prepare yourself for a tale sprinkled with sarcasm and seasoned with humor, as only a family trip to the depths of Carlsbad Caverns can inspire. Deep beneath the New Mexico desert, our adventure was as much about the journey inward as it was about exploring the caverns. Amidst light-hearted ribbing and a few grueling steps,…
White Sands New Mexico is a geological marvel of the desert. Gypsum sand dunes rising from the valley floor for miles, windswept and white as snow. Some of the dunes brush right up against the highway and often you will see cars pulled over with people inquisitively dipping their hands or feet into this magical…
