Road trip - day two

 

After spending the night in Amarillo we traveled on into New Mexico to see the volcano.

Walked down into the center

On the way back up to the parking level - hello altitude!

Hubby went on to walk around the top - the altitude was too much for me and daddy's shoulder was hurting (surgery next week!) so these photos are courtesy of the hubs.




Not sure which direction he was facing at the time but supposedly you can see all the way to Oklahoma from up here.


Meanwhile, daddy and I rested up. 
This was his birthday and I was so happy to be spending quality time with him!

There are several hiking and biking trails and we took off down one - which at some times was barely even a pig trail but we finally came out onto what looked like a road - hoping we were heading in the right direction. Signs were few and far between!

We finally made it out and got back on the road to Colorado Springs

Just in the nick of time. They close the park when there is lightening/rain. 
(remember that bench up there - good idea)

The view from our home away from home for the next 3 days.

Stay tuned for some beautiful sunrises!
