Overall thoughts on the Northern New Mexico Loop

Great photos, description, and logistics report. Added the NNML to my bucket list. “Land of Entrapment” indeed.

Thanks!

PS – How did you get across the Rio Grande the second time?

Looks like a wonderful trip.  There is so much to see in New Mexico. It seems there is always more.

I enjoyed this, thank you.

Thx for the kind words.

The second ford ended up being interesting.

Normally a knee-high or so ford with mellow current, the water levels and current ended both being higher in this wet winter and spring.

I went upstream a bit, rock hopped up to my waist and then backstroke and floated to the other side.

Interesting. :)

I thought it might be a good time to test out your inflatable mat as a pfd. ;)

Beautiful- thanks for sharing!

Awesome route Mags! As a long time hiker and lover of New Mexico, I look forward to hiking this route someday. Eat my way in chili peppers all the way to Pie Town where the food is self-evident. Now that is good living!
