Horseback riding in the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico, the first wilderness so designated by the US in 1924. Tall rock canyons split by shallow rivers. We rode along the Geronimo Trail Scenic Byway, where history abounds – old mining ruins, Native American stone ruins, and even tales of outlaws. #geronimotrailguestranch
- They told us it was a long drive to the ranch from the Truth or Consequences airport.
- No matter what saddle I ride, the stirrups always have to be longer.
- Outside the tack barn. It must be so fun to name a horse.
- My trusty steed, Timber, looking warily at my hat. This is a new invention – a riding helmet with a sun brim!
- Front porch swinging with my sweetheart.
- Smoked chicken tacos.
- Alligator juniper. Just look at that scaly bark.
- Horsing around in the Pueblo caves.
- Mike thought these Pueblo ruins would do just fine – shelter from the rain, and a firepit.
- Letting my horse Timber have a drink.
- Stunning canyons.
- Look at the layers of shale behind me!
- Wild watercress at the edge of every stream.
- Mike riding Victorio (named after the Apache chief)
- A New Mexican Apache supporting his team.
