Riding the river, conquering the peak
May was sweet. The nights became balmy and mellow. The notorious windy season started mild and ended early. So Sam and I did what any self-respecting Minnesotans would do in that situation: we floated down a river. Thanks to Leilani and Ranger Dean, we hitched a ride on a raft through the Rio Grande Gorge, north of Taos. The water was too low for rapids, but that just meant we didn't spill our beers. So no problem.
Later on, we finally made good on our solemn vow to hike all 7.5 of the La Luz trail to the Sandia crest.
