Fall NM and AZ Trip

Here are a few photos from our 2-week southwestern New Mexico and southeastern AZ trip.  We visited the Mt. Graham area in east central AZ then the Silver City area of NM before heading to the Chiricahua Mountains in far southeast corner of AZ.  From there we went to the Las Cienegas grasslands area before completing the trip at Patagonia Lake near the border at Nogales.

The sunsets at Las Cienegas were amazing

The campsites at City of Rocks State Park NM were tucked back into the rocks.

Monument Valley

Day 1 of our summer trip.  With the border still closed we plan to basically repeat the trip we took last year.  The route will take use through eastern Utah to Flaming Gorge then into Montana north of Yellowstone.  From there we will go west to Big Sky and then over to the Bitterroot valley south of Missoula before heading back home.
