Spotlight on public lands: Valles Caldera 
Posted in
We have emerged from an impenetrable bank of fog and into a surrealist’s setting.  The perfectly flat cloud carpet is literally at our feet.

Spotlight on public lands: Little Mountain 
Posted in
Sweat was beading on my brow. I was gasping for breath. Running up hill, I needed my iPhone. Fifty yards away I had the spotting scope set up. Binos were around my neck, so was the camera.

This commentary in the Santa Fe New Mexican sums up perfectly the kinds of issues and solutions that confront outdoorspeople in this age when so many folks are growing blind to the importance of public lands.
