Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve is an American national park that conserves an area of large sand dunes up to 750 feet on the eastern edge of the San Luis Valley, and an adjacent national preserve in the Sangre de Cristo Range, in south-central Colorado, The park encompasses 107,342 acres.

The park contains the tallest sand dunes in North America. Sediments from the surrounding mountains filled the valley over geologic time periods. After lakes within the valley receded, exposed sand was blown by the predominant southwest winds toward the Sangre de Cristos, eventually forming the dunefield over an estimated tens of thousands of years. Ecosystems within the mountain watershed include alpine tundra, subalpine forests, montane woodlands, and riparian zones.

Santa Fe, New Mexico. Founded in 1610, it is the oldest capitol city in the US, also the highest in elevation at 7,200 feet above sea level. A place with a blend of cultures, art, and food that draws over 1,000,000 visitors annually!

I lived here for 4 years in the foothills of the Sangre De Cristo (Blood of Christ) mountain range. The footage taken here is with my DJI Mavic Pro Platinum drone. Shot in 4k, you see a bird’s eye view of downtown Santa Fe, and the state capitol building with the flags. The first mountain in the distance is Sandia (Watermelon) mountian. The camera pans, and you are looking at the Sangre De Cristo mountain range.

“You don’t need to believe in ghosts to balance spirit and live the right way in this world. You can use any metaphor you like—for example, ego, id, superego, and persona. Frontal lobe, monkey brain, neocortex, and lizard brain. Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d’Artagnan. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Malfoy. Monkey spirit, Pig spirit, Fish spirit, and Tripitaka. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Whatever stories your cultural experience offers you, you can still perceive spirit through metaphor and bring it into balance to step into your designated role as a custodian of reality. Some new cultures keep asking, “Why are we here?” It’s easy. This is why we’re here. We look after things on the earth and in the sky and the places in between.” Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World by Tyson Yunkaporta

Alamosa, CO (No. 4)

The San Luis Valley was ceded to the United States by Mexico following the Mexican–American War. Hispanic settlers began moving north and settling in the valley after the United States made a treaty with the Utes and established a fort in the early 1850s. Prior to the Mexican war the Spanish and Mexican governments had reserved the valley to the Utes. Later in the 19th century Anglo settlers began to settle in the valley and engaged in mining, ranching, and irrigated agriculture. Today the valley has a diverse Anglo and Hispanic population.

The San Luis Valley is the broad, generally flat, valley at the headwaters of the Rio Grande in south central Colorado and far north central New Mexico. The northern portion of the San Luis Valley is an endorheic basin; surface water does not exit this area. Irrigated agriculture is possible in the area due to groundwater and streams fed by the average 100 inches of snow the surrounding mountain ranges receive. The southern portion is drained by the Rio Grande.

There is no clear southern boundary but the term is generally used to include the San Luis Hills of southern Colorado and the Taos Plateau of northern New Mexico. About 50 miles from east to west and about 150 miles from north to south, the valley is bounded on the east by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and on the west by the San Juan Mountains.

I had planned to climb Truchas Peak for my 30th birthday. Then the Calf Canyon fire burned too close to all the trailheads. They have been closed for weeks. Will be closed for months.

Then I was going to backpack Trampas lakes for my 30th birthday. Then they closed the entire national forest indefinitely.

Then I was going to backpack a loop I’ve been wanting to do in the Gila wilderness. Well there’s a fire down there too and it’s close to the loop and I don’t want to be that close to a fire despite them staying open for now.

Then I was going to hike to a lake in the Sangre de Cristos in CO but it’s been snowing for a week and there’s a 40% chance of thundersnow when we would be there.

I think I finally found a super back up lake just a little further of a drive in another mountain range, much shorter hike… can’t wait to see what makes that hike impossible in the next two days.

Alamosa Masonic Hall

The building’s elaborate stamped metal upper story represents a period of construction associated with the arrival of the railroad and the resulting ability to import prefabricated architectural elements.  Built in 1887, it was one of the first major buildings to be constructed on what would become Alamosa’s main street.  Street-level retail stores supported the second-story hall both physically and financially. 

Built in 1887, it was one of the first major buildings to be constructed on what would become Alamosa’s main street.  Street-level retail stores supported the second-story hall both physically and financially.

The Alamosa Masonic Temple Association, with its own funds, city support, and SHF grants, installed emergency exit doors, replaced the roof, and repaired and repainted the windows.  The second story cornice-and-cast-iron facade, with its elaborate Italianate trim, was badly damaged, weather, and faded.  Restoration required replacement finials, cornices, and parapet caps, all of modern zinc-coated steel and sheet aluminum.
