The Red River area which is just north of Taos was a real surprise. Quite a tourist town in the summer and a ski area in the winter. Andy is standing in front of an old mine we found on our Columbine Canyon hike. This area has a functioning mine now and in the past was mined for gold and silver.
The hiking in the area is beautiful and as you can see gets up above the tree line. This means we were hiking in the 9000 to 11000 foot altitude. I needed to stop often on this hike to catch my breath. I took this picture just before the thunder storm came in and we had to hike back part way in the rain.
