I would not be surprised if I move to NM at some point. 🙂

And thanks for sharing the awesome loop. Not interested in the dry areas myself but will definitely do sections.

So few people and such a grand landscape ~ looks like a wonderful hike away from the current world madness.
We plan on doing a similar route soon. Many thanks for sharing your experiences

I’m headed out today to walk the ~350-mile “pilot trail” of the Great Plains Trail, Bear Butte, S.D. down to Scottsbluff, Nebraska.

P.P.S. That YouTube story should appear on the Trek sometime this week. I finished it about a week ago and the editor is just waiting for someone to produce a feature image.

Nice to meet you as well! I had to pursue the dry cycle the flowing day, too. 😉

I met you just north of Lagunitas. I’m wondering how you fared in that storm that night. I did fine but had some drying to do the next day. I just got home and had a great hike. It was great to meet you!
