Waking up this morning on Conchas lake was simply amazing. After taking an early morning swim in the lake we hit the road. Traveling 104 N to Las Vegas, NM where we turn start north to the town of Taos. The road to Taos travels through the Carson National Forest which is packed with high mountains, winding roads, and loads of pine trees.
Taos was amazing. We had the most delicious meal at Rellenos Café before browsing in gift shops and upscale boutiques.
Next stop was Wild Rivers Recreation Area north of Taos on the Rio Grande. This area shows views of the Rio Grande, the Red river, and the 800 foot canyon walls that surround them. We hiked down one trail about half way to the river and the mud was caking up our sandles so much we could barely walk.
Our plan was to camp here for the night but with rain and forecasts for more rain and flash floods we made a tough decision to abandon that plan and head to our Santa Fe hotel early. The disappointment didn’t last long as on the ride to Santa Fe we got a call saying that we got the apartment we wanted in LA. Yeah. We finished off the night with New York style pizza, a viewing of Dark Knight, and a bed to sleep in.
