Box Canyon, NM

For our first vacation in what feels like forever (yay - Bataan is done!) we drove north to Socorro, NM. The winds were ripping, but that didn't stop us.


This little canyon will get a visit early tomorrow morning to see the Milky Way core, assuming the clouds cooperate. For today, Leah and I hiked up from the arroyo floor. Catherine and Ian walked down the arroyo - we found them from our perch up high.


Afterwards, Leah and I went to explore a cave on the opposite wall of the canyon. Along the way, we found this weird tree made out of rocks - at least, we think it looks like a tree.


We got snowed on shortly after this photo. It was still 50 or so where we were, it was just cold enough at altitude to give us some snow. New Mexico really is a strange (enchanting?) place.


Cheers,

Marc
