Day 84, On our way to Wyoming

Final business travel for the year finds me once again in my old stomping grounds of the New River Valley.

25 days later and we’re back to where we started. The Northern New Mexico Loop was an awesome hike with a ton of diverse landscapes, flor and fauna. Thanks to @hikeinvention for creating this amazing route, New Mexico has once again stolen my heart. ![]()

Holy blowdowns Batman! The NNML is still going well despite some tougher trail conditions the other day. We’re in the home stretch now, and enjoying a new variety of landscape since leaving the tall mountains. #nnml #thruhike #backapcking #landofemchantment #astral #point6 #wekeepyououtdoors #montbell #sixmoondesigns #katabaticgear #landofenchantment
