Venturing west of the Rio Grande

We rarely cross the river into the Albuquerque's "west side", Rio Rancho, the embodiment of suburban sprawl with cookie-cutter homes, strip malls and a whole lot of concrete. But it is also home to the "Petroglyph National Monument", a large wide open are with an estimated 24.000 carved images and 'the three sisters' volcanoes.

We hiked around for a few hours and were lucky to catch a stunning sunset! The variety of landscapes in New Mexico is just incredible!!

I believe I can fly!!!!



From the rocky cave...


Low desert grasses...



Looks like the aliens are landing (and we're not even in Roswell!!)...


Colors changing minute to minute...
