Retiring to NM in a few years and this video reminds me of some of the beautiful areas I need to hike and explore. Just gotta save up a little more. Thanks. 🙏🏼 😊
Spent near 10 years as a copilot on a DC7 airtanker almost every summer spent in Northern New Mexico and Arizona. I'd live there. Actually worked a fire in the Valles Caldera.
Grew up in Los Alamos in the 60s and spent a lot of time in the Jemez and surrounding areas. Knew a man named Roland Pettitt who wrote two books about the Jemez. He was a fine man. Many happy memories.
Fantastic video. I spend a lot of time in the Jemez. The place is beautiful. Your film could be used as an advertisement for the area. Truth be told I don't think that I would enjoy the influx of tourist though.
Just moved to the east coast after growing up in NM. God, I miss that state. Camping in the Jemez is by far some of the best memories I have. And the Valles is like another world.
Amazing stuff! Think they have restricted drones from a lot of these places you have on here now so no more great drone shots which is a shame. By any chance do you have any more footage from around the Battleship rock area? We hiked up a trail to the source of the battleship Rock falls which is about a half mile as a drone flies to the north east of the footage you showed. Just curious if you had swung around that way at all.
they are the true and living God's as is this world as all life. there is one way to heaven and that is through the Christ and his gift that no man can earn.
That's the entrance road to the Valles Caldera Preserve, which heads north off of New Mexico State Rte. 4 about 12? miles west of Los Alamos, NM. It's well marked and leads to the visitor center, where I have found the staff to be helpful and friendly including info as to current rules about fishing, hunting, etc. and allowable driving past the visitor center. The narrow meandering stream is the East Fork of the Jemez River. It's a stunning place , even if your only view is from one of the pullouts on NM 4, from which you can often spot impossibly tiny (in the distance) herds of elk.
