It sounds so beautiful ❤

Thank you for posting. Great advice !

Bro, you’re supposed to take the skin off! It’s just weird how Americans don’t know how to eat fruits but if I gave you a cheeseburger, God help us all.

Many don't realize but the Holy Ghost Creek was Forrest Fenn's special place. (The Blaze)

Which mountain bike you are using?

I recently read about the history of the Sandias, which said there was a 500 acre wildfire in the Manzanitas in 1989.

A classic. This is a 3-water-bottle hike for me if I am climbing it.

I miss Albuquerque so much one day i shall return and go on this wonderful memorable hike.

You are so wrong, typical NM crap!!

Thank you for this video. I wonder how the trees are doing there in light of climate change.

That's what I call "getting away from it all"!

When I was in the area last year, I talked to a local ranger who had been there a couple of years. He was a Cibola National Forest ranger. He had no idea that the Sandia and Manzano Mountains east of Albuquerque were also in the Cibola National Forest. I showed him on a map. It has bits and pieces all over the state.

Really enjoy your content, is this a personal channel or through some organization?

I was the subscriber who asked the question, thanks for the video! I did make it last week in my small SUV without scraping bottom. Love it over there.

I drove my rental car on 165 which worked out fine but was probably a terrible idea 😂 I love the crest and palomas peak!

NM 165 is pretty rough these days.

Pine tree leaf burn easily

Could you peel off the hairs?

Thank you so much for this video! They are, by far, my favorite bird! Such beauty, agility and big personality in an micro package. This video really made my day. Thanks!

Just went here with my kiddos today, it was definitely fun, but a lot of crawling for me compared to them lol. Those stairs might keep me from ever going again though!!!

My guess is Bigfoodeer scat.

Visit 1,000 flowers or just 1 feeder? 👍🤣 Really enjoy your channel and content!

Thank you.....I thoroughly enjoyed making this hike with you....

Bigfoot scat! (disguised as deer/elk scat) 👣

I was fortunate enough to actually find one of those washed out railroad spikes! I play in Porter all the time if I’m not bushwhacking Cienega or Las Huertas!

Escape Albuquerque, avoid getting murdered, heat is the least of the problem

Flower power!

Very nice getaway, and I'm jealous of your "living room"! Speaking of dirt roads, I used to be able to handle the "back road" route 165 from Placitas to the Sandia Crest Highway in a Honda Civic in the "good old days", but in recent years it has gotten so bad that I don't even try in a higher-clearance vehicle anymore. Do you know the current conditions of that road?

Fantastic video, and I'm very thankful you shared the route. Thanks so much for posting!

Many thanks for this great coverage.

Awesome!

Loved this show and tell of wildflowers- so much was covered! Learned a lot!

I grew up in Roswell, my grandparents moved there in 1930 and started Dean motor company until 1986. The water from Bottomless Lakes is fed by an underground aquifer that comes from Cloudcroft NM, and takes 17 years to get to Bottomless Lakes, so I have been told by past Superintendents of the park. On the East side of the Lea lake there is a Model T that someone let it roll of the cliff to collect the insurance back in 1929 or early 1930, after the stock market crash of November 1929. The car is about 15 feet under water, when I was 15 or 16 swam down to it and sat in the drivers seat. (Stupid thing to do) The tower that you were wondering about is the old water tower. They removed the water tank in the early 1960’s. Lot and lots of GREAT MEMORIES THERE! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for the incredibly useful information, #fabulousfiana!!

It's been a long time since I've been around that area but I used to love both the Sandia and Manzano Mountains. Beautiful Mountain areas. I haven't visited the Pecos Wilderness area but it looks as good.

I hiked to the top last year it was awesome

Now if only someone would reopen the Crest House for eats and treats. I miss that tourist trap. lol

I had a close encounter with a blacktail rattlesnake in the Sandias recently. I did not try to handle it!

😬Vanessa! 😳 Gila Monster is beautiful, markings remind me of patterns used in southwest jewelry, rugs and pottery. I can hear Indiana Jones “snakes, why did it have to be snakes”… 😆 Really cool, thank you. (Edit: just visited Zoocrew site⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Excellent.)

did you have your gear strapped in to the boat?

🦨🦊🐈oh my! I appreciate Skunks from a distance 😅they are wonderful for digging up hornet nests in the ground, which makes mowing safer. Glad these were able to be relocated. 🙏🏼

Nice to see the effect of a decent monsoon!

Beautiful! Wondering if those greener circles in the grass were from mushrooms… the mycorrhiza adding nutrients to the grasses. Thank you for giving us a preview of the caldera.

Great video. Thanks for sharing

😂

Love it!

Another great video! Thanks for posting!

Who’s here from that one Texan comment in dying voice dudes TH-cam shorts,

Ah yes, the turkey! A strong, proud bird of courage and moral character! Fly high proud bird! Fly high!🥲🇺🇸🦃🎇

The great Triassic mural at the NMMNHS painted by paleontologist artist Margaret Colbert hopefully will be saved in the new Hall being constructed. No better depiction of a Triassic environment!
