A spiny lizard sunbathes on the side of a rock. Picture taken in Southwest New Mexico. While hiking at the Gila Cliff Dwellings I stumbled across multiple lizards, their scales so spiky I found them to be very unique and interesting.
Photos from my visit to the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, more commonly known as the St. Francis Cathedral church. It is located in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico. With hundreds of years of history it’s a can’t miss on your visit to the city. It’s not Santa Fe’s only well known and culturally significant church either. More to come!

The first stop on my New Mexico road trip was the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. The main attractions here are the well preserved dwellings perched high up the side of a cliff; inside natural caves once lived in by the native Mogollon peoples over 700 years ago.
A picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine and the Santuario de Guadalupe Church located in historic Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Video and pictures of the Carlsbad Caverns bat flight. Bats flying out of their cave and into the beautiful sunset on a warm summer evening in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Stats and summary from my 2,000 mile long road trip circling around the state of New Mexico. I had 6 days from start to finish and in that time wanted to take in and enjoy as much of what it had to offer as I could. New Mexico is home to 12 national monuments, second only to Arizona; many parks and 3 World Heritage sites.
