  1. Cloudcroft was founded as a logging camp for the railroad built through Alamogordo, 4500-feet below in the Tularosa Basin. The cooler temperatures in the mountains, and beautiful forests and meadows, made the village a popular destination for people seeking a reprieve from the heat at lower elevations.

  4. Work in southern #NewMexico this week involved a lot of driving and talking, but I was able to get a few short hikes in. This is a #panorama from the Rim Trail in the Sacramento Mountains just outside #Cloudcroft, looking down to the Tularosa Basin. I do love NM. #hiking #nature

  9. HA! Welp. Guess we aren't going to Alamogordo today.

    Enormous rock slide south of the tunnel on Hwy. 82.

    These boulders are taller than a man standing up. This will take a while.
