Our Summer Trip to New Mexico and Colorado

 

 

Well, it's July again, and that usually means that Fred and I are embarking on a Summer trip. This time, we've planned to camp and hike in New Mexico and Colorado. We haven't planned out a whole route, like we did for Glacier National Park last year, but have just formulated a general idea of where we want to go and what we want to see.

This will be a driving trip and, since we took Fred's RAV4 to Glacier last year, it is my turn to take the Elantra for this trip. We left from Fred's house in Van Alstyne on Saturday morning, July 14, heading west to our first camping destination at Manzano Mountain State Park southeast of Albuerqueque, New Mexico.

We returned from Raton, New Mexico, on Sunday evening, July 22, after a really great trip (that was not without its disappointments and successes). Even so, it was a really great trip, and we hope you enjoy looking at the pictures of it.

 

Using the Master Index

We took hundreds of pictures and movies while out west, so I have organized this trip into an album page for each day. There are nine of these pages, and you can jump to any one of them using the Master Index below simply by clicking on one of the dates.

When you are done looking at our trip out west, use one of the links to return to this page, scroll to the top, and use the links there to continue through the photo album.

We hope you enjoy looking at the pictures. Here is the index:
