Another State

Each Step Is a Journey

Today we are in Chama, New Mexico! Last night we enjoyed a nice little hotel room. We technically have a few more miles of Colorado to hike when we hitch back up to Cumbres Pass. It feels good to be finishing up with Colorado and starting our journey into New Mexico. New Mexico is a world in and of itself. It has a whole different feel from the rest of the trail. I look forward to days filled with more sunshine, and the beauty of the desert.

From here the rest of the trail will fly by in the blink of an eye! We have probably a little less than a month to go. The hiking in New Mexico over all is easier than what we have been experiencing, and so we will be able to do some more miles each day. It looks like we might still have a couple days of rain, but hopefully the weather will make a shift in the direction of sunshine to dry us out after the Colorado experience.

Now it is time for us to go re-supply, and grab lunch before we hitch back up to the pass. As we move into the fall months I reflect on all that I have experienced this summer, and I hope all of you have fully enjoyed your summer in what ever way brings you most joy!
