Bringing my mom and girlfriend Jen on a national park birthday road trip for their 75th and 37th birthdays in May. We’ll be hitting up White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, and Guadalupe Mountainsβand maybe even sneaking in a stop at Gila Cliff Dwellings if time permits. All will be first visits for them.
There’s a 300-room pueblo ruin complex within sight of I-17…and it’s named for a duck.
Looking forward to another kayaking adventure soon.
Where will YOUR next trail beer be?
I need more waterfalls like this in my life.

Made a return visit to Fort Bowie National Historic Site for Jen, one of the few national park units that requires a hike to get to the visitor center. #fb
