Before returning to the trailhead we will take time for self-reflection as we absorb the canyon views, the distant sound of the Rio Grande, and the fresh scent of desert sage.
While exploring Abiquiú, it’s not difficult to uncover why so many artists have made their home among her mesas, buttes, valleys, canyons and plateaus with vivid hues painted and etched across her landscape like poetry.
