| New Mexico |
Our stay in New Mexico has taken longer than expected because Diane returned to Montreal for four weeks (March 22 to April 17) to take care of her mother who was in the hospital. Despite the sadness of this situation and also because we stayed longer than expected (and Ted more!), we explored New Mexico in more detail.
First, we found Winter again in Taos, an enchanting city which attracts many artists. We spent several days skiing in its breathtaking mountainsand even had a trip in a hot air balloon above and even down into the canyon of the Rio Grande. After Diane's stay in Montreal, we got back together where it was Spring again at Rio Rancho, a suburb of Albuquerque (the capital). Sandia Mountains (with its longest mountain Tramway in the world) provided excellent hiking opportunities almost everyday.
As we write these lines, we are in West Yellowstone, Montana, after a stay in Colorado. We are right on the border of the Yellowstone Park (yes, the Yogi Bearpark), famous for its grizzlys, black bears, bisons, wolves, elks and many other species. But what is less known is that Yellowstone has more than 50% of all hydrothermal features in the world: geysers, hot springs and other oddities of nature created by the proximity of the subjacent hot magma, abundant water and fractures. But you will see this in our next slideshow: From Colorado to Yellowstone.
