*Scroll down for part 1
Our first day in New Mexico was jam packed with hiking. After the volcano and ice cave, we drove about an hour down the road to this beautiful spot: El Murro.
This place was incredible! The rock formations were beautiful and HUGE. There were a bunch of these carvings in the rock dating back as far as the late 1600's with all sorts of names and messages from travelers. This one was my favorite because it was so pretty!
A major crack in one of the rocks that is being very carefully monitored.
Just a cool shot of the rock.
Here's my mom again with one of her treasured finds: a dandelion the size of a softball. Too bad we couldn't take it home, my kids would have loved it!

*Notice the hat I am now wearing backwards (thanks Dad!). By this time of day, my neck was REALLY starting to feel the effects of the sun. Darn UV rays.My favorite picture I took.
A quick photo break in the blessed shade!

The Indian ruins at the very top of the mountain. They were amazing! This dwelling had about 12 little rooms.
This was some kind of meeting room.
On the way down. Thank heavens for handy little steps! It could have been a rough climb down!

Wow that is soo cool! I love old ruins, and trying to imagine what it must have been like when the ancient people lived there. Your pictures are awesome! Looks like you guys had such a fun time!
I love all the pictures. I really miss the mountains! It's nice to see such beautiful pictures of nature. Glad you got to have such a fun trip!
It looks so pretty there.
Great pics! I love the one of all of you leaningover the tree trunk - it looks so beautiful there!
