Every ski season that comes to a close in Telluride means that the kids get two weeks of vacation and we usually go find another vacation destination to descend upon. This year we stayed close to home and I wanted to share some of the great locations around Telluride and the Four Corners that you can take advantage of when you are here for an extended period, and want to explore some of the Four Corners Region, from...Base Camp Telluride
 | Sand Canyon - Canyons of the Ancients National Monument Because we have soccer tourneys in the town next door, Cortez, this weekend, we will be Mountain Biking some of our favorite trails in the area including Sand Canyon which has a dense collection of ruins and archeological sites. Hiking and Single track mountain bike trails in a labyrinth of canyon country just an hour or so south of Telluride. Great fun, so close and easy just outside of Mesa Verde National Park. |
 | White Sands National Monument - Located in a remote region of New Mexico south of Albequerque, the boys and I found White Sands to be one of the most unique and fun experiences we've had exploring in the region. The hikes are vast areas of fine Gypsum. You can travel for miles among the dunes in a truly a one of a kind location. Afterward we camped high in the mountains of Lincoln National Forest dripping with history of the Apaches, Gold mining and Billy the Kid. |
 | Carlsbad Caverns National Park - South to Carlsbad where we discovered one of America's treasures. The caverns are so vast and deep. It is so hard to explain the deep reaches of this National Park. We missed the bat flights that occur in the evenings as we arrived prior to their migratory return from Mexico, but the sites were remarkable and the sense of discovery for the boys was one they will remember always. |
 | Guadalupe Mountains National Park - The highest point in Texas. We took a loop through Guadalupe National Park on our way west to the Gila Wilderness. Guadalupe is full of scenic hikes and wilderness. |
 | Gila River Wilderness and Gila Cliff Dwellings - The oldest wilderness in the United States and the largest acreage of any wilderness area. We spent time at the Gila Cliff Dwelling National Monument. This is a very remote part of New Mexico with sacred, historic ruins and wild trout streams. We spent a night in the northern part of the Gila National Forest at the San Francisco river and hiked a couple miles to some primitive hot springs pools. |
 - all photos by Jake and Leland Burchmore | El Malpais National Monument - El Malpais (pronounced ell-mal-pie-ees) means"the badlands" in Spanish. Its volcanic features include jagged spatter cones, a lava tube cave system extending at least 17 miles, and fragile ice caves. Easy access off of Interstate 40. We headed back to Taos via Sante Fe and hit the Petroglyph National Monument on the way. We camped at the San Francisco river on the way to El Malpais, where we discovered natural hot springs pools up a 2 mile trail to the river. The geology and volcanic activity in the past has created some great hot springs in the region for discovery. |
So many great locations in Northwestern New Mexico are on the agenda for this spring. We plan to spend some time in the Zuni Reservation and tour other sites such as El Morro National Monument, Chaco Culture National Historic Center, and Bandelier National Monument.
