Jemez East Fork: A Much Needed Relaxing Day in Nature [4K]
Sometimes it's not about the miles or the elevation gain. Sometimes it can just be about spending some time in a beautiful setting with a good friend. This is the hike that made me fall in love with the Jemez, and I come back every year. I never get sick of it, and I always find new things to see or enjoy every time I come back.

Santa Fe Baldy & Lake Katherine: Most beautiful lake in New Mexico?
zhlédnutí 155Před 14 dny
One of the most scenic and beautiful hikes in New Mexico just outside of Santa Fe. Climbing to the top of Santa Fe Baldy at over 12,600 ft, then dropping down to a stunning alpine lake. #hiking #hikingadventures #mountains #mountainman #forest #wilderness #newmexico #nmtrue #santafe #alpinelakes #alpine #nationalforest #nature #naturelovers #naturephotography #birdsounds #outdoors
La Luz: A Perfect Day on the Pinnacle of the Sandias!
zhlédnutí 89Před 21 dnem
With all the crazy hikes I do, even I find it a little odd that it had been over a decade since I'd hiked La Luz. It wasn't the most pleasant experience the first time. Luckily, with a lot more experience and more perfect conditions than anyone could expect, my second time was one of my best days ever on a mountain. #hiking #adventure #newmexico #mountains #sandiamountains #nmtrue #wilderness #...
Rio de los Pinos: Relaxing Memorial Day Camping Trip
zhlédnutí 300Před 21 dnem
A relaxing weekend getaway to the New Mexico-Colorado border. 2 days to just unwind, unplug and enjoy some time with nature and a friend. Beautiful landscapes, the beginning of the Colorado peak snow melt, some wandering open-range cattle, noisy bullfrogs...everything I was hoping for on my Memorial Day camping trip.

North Sandia Peak from Placitas. 15 miles of the most amazing views!!!
zhlédnutí 149Před 2 měsíci
Hiking through the desert and oak, into the snowy forest, and along the windy ridge to Sandia Crest's northern sister, North Sandia Peak (10,447 ft/3184 m). These views were breathtaking, and as bad as it may have seemed at times, the weather was fantastic. #hiking #hikingadventures #nature #sandiamountains #albuquerque #newmexico #nmtrue #adventure #mountains #gopro #hero10 #rei #lasportiva #g...

A beautiful spring day on Domingo Baca, and the Sandia loophole I've been seeking for years. A long, steep hike along a beautiful mountain stream with plenty of waterfalls along the way. #planecrash #hiking #drone #sandiamountains #nature #newmexico #adventure #wilderness #albuquerque #sandiatram #waterfall #stream

When getting off trail gets a little intense, just climb higher! Finding waterfalls is dangerous...and painful. #hiking #nature #waterfall #wilderness #outdoors #adventure #climbing #bushwhacking #newmexico #sandiamountains #sandiawilderness #albuquerque

    Is this for the public or Weber? I watched about five seconds.

    Fall is a great time of year to visit! You should definitely check out the other peaks in that cluster if you like Santa Fe Baldy. I just did Redondo north of Baldy from Lake Johnson last weekend, and it was mind-blowing.

    • @TheMetalMonkey970
      @TheMetalMonkey970 Před 4 dny

      I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!

    Long day hike doing both baldy and then Katherine... I thought all the snow would've been melted by now.

      Very long day! I figured there would be a little snow. I wasn't expecting that much, though.

    First went there in 1965, only the locals knew of this gem back then really. My old man was always looking for new places to fish, camping was just a necessary chore to him. Been back a couple times since, it's different somehow and too many people now. Thanks.

      It's still a lot less crowded than a lot of the other places I go camping. Probably just because it's not very close to any major cities. I just discovered it about 3 years ago.

    Beautiful! Do you camp out there?

    • @TheMetalMonkey970
      @TheMetalMonkey970 Před 3 měsíci

      No, camping isn't allowed in the area 😪 But there's some great hiking!

  • @jamiebrady9253
    @jamiebrady9253 Před 3 měsíci

    Are you mountain lion/bear ready? What protection do you carry if any?

    • @TheMetalMonkey970
      @TheMetalMonkey970 Před 3 měsíci

      I usually don't carry anything. I have bear spray in my truck, but I've never seen anything in all my years of hiking here so I don't bring it.

  • @jamiebrady9253
