Puye was one of the ancestral villages of Santa Clara, San Ildefonso and Ohkay Owingeh Pueblos, occupied from about 900 AD to 1580 AD. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1966. There are extensive ruins at the base of the cliffs and on top of the mesa, with outstanding examples of early Pueblo architecture and stunning panoramas of the Rio Grande valley. The sheer number of cliff dwellings at Puye, and how far they extend, is overwhelming, indicative of a large community.

OP Site 5, AZ. Most of the rock art in this area is thought to be Patayan in origin (Specifically Patayan III from around 1500-1900CE) but there are so many layers on some of these panels that it’s hard to tell what’s what. There’s a certain frenetic energy to these busy panels, almost as if they’re just vibrating on the stone surface. Seeing this in a photo gets the general idea across, but the experience of standing in front of these profound remnants of past lives is just on another level. I’m underqualified to put the feeling into words.

Hi Bunnies!

I was sick most of July. Not the COVID but it really delayed my plans to get up and running with my hiking and backpacking goals.

Found the perfect day pack. Excellent Walking sticks cause I’m clumsy. Lots of reading and researching on proper Leave No Trace hiking/BP, proper gear and clothing and the safety of taking these trips. I’ve even signed up for a class with REI to teach me some of the skills I need to backpack. Yep! The Gemini in me wants to learn all the things.

Planning my trip to Utah in September. I plan to SUB on the Colorado River, try canyoneering, Dark sky star gazing, and see as many of the National Parks as I can see in 12 days. Glamping, mostly. I’m not ready to car or tent camp just yet!

Stay curious! Live deliciously!

💋

Chaco Canyon is one of the most inaccessible National Parks in the country. Although it is well-known, there is no easy way to get there and there are no amenities once you arrive. The closest town is 60 miles away. There’s a gas station on the main road, near where you turn off on Highway 550. That’s the last opportunity for gas, water, snacks, sunscreen and supplies.

Furthermore, there is no good road to Chaco Canyon. Bluntly, it feels like an Indiana Jones expedition the moment you turn off the main road. The jolting journey evolves from a deceivingly decent dirt road to not so good to face rattling off your skull for a couple of miles. Also, there's a large wash on the way, which can become impassable during heavy storms. Don’t be daring, because there’s no cell phone reception either.

SS Panel, UT. An impressive Barrier Canyon Style panel, roughly dated between 1500-7000 years old. This Archaic style has many trademark characteristics, mostly pictographs painted in red ochre, elongated bodies often missing limbs, animal companions… It would take multiple posts to list all the specifics associated with this style, but the overall feeling I get from BCS imagery is “otherworldly”.

This panel is not an easy one to get to, located up an extremely steep talus slope with barely any level surfaces to stand on once you reach the top. Whoever created this one wanted the image to be seen from a distance. The figures loom over the canyon like sentries.

The large rectangular glyph (Slide 1) could be a zoomorph whose limbs have washed away. The zoomorph in Slides 3 & 4 could be a bear or possibly a domesticated dog. I especially like the handprints below the panels that almost look like the creator wiped their fingers on the wall after painting the images

Bhutan's Lesser-Known Treks: Beyond the Famous Trails

Unveiling the Hidden Gems of Bhutan's Trekking Paradise

Bhutan, nestled in the heart of the Eastern Himalayas, is renowned for its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and, of course, its trekking trails that captivate adventurers worldwide. Amidst the breathtaking valleys in Bhutan, where nature unfolds its wonders, and the rhythmic flow of rivers invites exploration, the allure goes beyond trekking. While the famous routes like the Snowman Trek and the Druk Path Trek attract their fair share of enthusiasts, this article aims to delve into the lesser-known treasures, the hidden gems that await those willing to step off the beaten path, unveiling not only the enchanting valleys but also the thrill of whitewater rafting in Bhutan.

Exploring the Enchanting Laya-Gasa Trek

Venturing beyond Bhutan's renowned trails, the Laya-Gasa Trek emerges as a splendid choice for those seeking a unique Himalayan experience. This journey weaves through picturesque landscapes, dense forests, and quaint villages, offering a glimpse into Bhutan's untouched beauty. The trail leads to Laya, a remote village perched at an elevation of 12,500 feet, where traditions are as breathtaking as the views.

Traversing the Samtengang Winter Trek

For those with a penchant for winter wonderlands, the Samtengang Winter Trek stands out as a less-explored gem. Beginning in Punakha, this trek meanders through rhododendron-filled forests, ancient monasteries, and charming villages. The highlight? Camping beneath the stars in the pristine winter landscape, far from the bustle of popular routes.

A Cultural Sojourn on the Bumthang Owl Trek

Diving into the heart of Bhutan's cultural tapestry, the Bumthang Owl Trek combines nature's wonders with historical richness. Winding through the Bumthang Valley, this trek unveils sacred monasteries, traditional farmhouses, and the warm hospitality of the locals. Each step echoes tales of ancient traditions, making it a truly immersive experience.

Beyond the Clouds: The Dagala Thousand Lakes Trek

For those seeking a surreal encounter with nature, the Dagala Thousand Lakes Trek promises an otherworldly journey. Located near Thimphu, this trek unfolds amidst a pristine alpine environment, revealing a surreal landscape dotted with, as the name suggests, numerous glacial lakes. The tranquillity of this trail offers a stark contrast to the more frequented routes, providing a sense of solitude and peace.

The Road Less Traveled: Tips for Exploring Bhutan's Hidden Treks

Embrace the Local Culture

Unlike the famous trails where tourist footprints are more evident, the lesser-known treks allow for a deeper cultural immersion. Engage with locals, participate in traditional ceremonies, and savor authentic Bhutanese cuisine to enrich your trekking experience.

Pack Wisely for Varied Terrains

Bhutan's diverse topography demands careful preparation. From dense forests to high-altitude plateaus, ensure your backpack includes essentials for all terrains. A sturdy pair of trekking poles and layered clothing are your allies on these less-charted paths.

Respect Nature, Leave No Trace

Preserving the pristine beauty of Bhutan's hidden trails is a collective responsibility. Follow the 'Leave No Trace' principles, dispose of waste responsibly, and tread lightly to ensure these lesser-known wonders remain unspoiled for generations to come.

In Conclusion: Unveiling Bhutan's True Essence

In a realm where the famous often overshadows the undiscovered, Bhutan's lesser-known treks beckon the intrepid traveller. Beyond the famous trails lie experiences that transcend the ordinary, offering a profound connection with nature and culture. As you traverse the untouched paths, remember that the beauty of Bhutan is not just in its landscapes but in the untold stories waiting to be discovered.
