This mountain captures the spirit of New Mexico like no other.
On the first day of a trip up to Colorado, Paul and I flew up to ShipRock Peak, in the 4 Corners area of New Mexico. We followed the 6 mile long spine from the south, then circled the...

Paul and I took a long 5.1 hour flight over the Jemez Mountains on July 13, 2017. We had perfect calm winds for the flight and on the way to Jemez we made a pass over the "Vents". These are some amazing travertine springs near the Jemez Caldera....
West of the Rio Puerco, near Mt Taylor is La Ventana Mesa with a maze of canyons connected by windows eroded in the sandstone. I first "discovered" these windows about a year ago in September 2016. When I overlayed my GPS track over topo maps, I saw...
Paul and I flew from Belen to Murrow Field on the Divide (NM99), a beautiful backcountry strip on Rol Murrow's ranch in northern New Mexico. We were trashed high winds and rotors coming off of Mt Taylor. They were strong enough that I made...
