Images above are from a trail along the Jemez River (creek) near the Valles Caldera National Preserve. Becky and I found this trail in 1998 and hiked up several miles in mid August. This is when I discovered how you can become dehydrated very easily in low humidity environments. You don't think you are sweating but you are and it dries so fast that you don't realize it. Very beautiful location and it brought back good memories.

If you are a fan of the television show "Longmire" (A&E Channel) you will recognize this a Sheriff Longmire's house. On the TV show this is in Wyoming. In reality it is on the Valles Caldera National Preserve between Los Alamos and Jemez Springs, New Mexico.

One of the many corrals located on the Valles Caldera National Preserve. This was once a working cattle ranch before the U.S. Government purchased it. They still lease out areas for cattle ranching.
These are elk grazing at the Valles Caldera National Preserve. These elk are more than 2 miles away from where I was standing when I took this photo. The photo was taken with a auper telephoto lens.
