Valley of Fires recreation area is located immediately adjacent to the Malpais Lava Flow. Approximately 5,000 years ago, Little Black Peak erupted and flowed 44 miles into the Tularosa Basin, filling the basin with molten rock. The resulting lava flow is four to six miles wide, 160 feet thick and covers 125 square miles. The lava flow is considered to be one of the youngest lava flows in the continental United States.
Dessert Options on this leg of our trip were ...
s'more bananas or s'more waffle cones
An early Morning in Santa Fe led us to the Santa Fe Farmers Market.
Cathedral Basilica of St Francis was beautiful!
We survived hiking in Kasha-Katawe Tent Rocks National Park. Tiny Maia amazed us (and many passer byers) with her hiking abilities. I give much thanks to my vibrams as they allowed me to grip plenty of rocky thin walkways while I protectively held the camera and my phone!
