More miscellaneous photos from hiking in NM and near Stinson Beach.
The view of snowy Mt. Taylor from the top of the volcanoes on Albuquerque's west side. Just in case you hadn't noticed, New Mexico is incredibly flat with these huge mountains rising dramatically out of the plateaus. 
The view in the other direction; looking toward Albuquerque and the Sandia Mountians. From the top of these relatively small volcanoes, we could see seven different mountain ranges, the Sangre de Cristos (the southern tip of the Rockies), the Jemez, the Sandias, Mt. Taylor, the Manzanos, and at least two ranges to the southwest.

Carter standing on a bluff above Stinson Beach and Bolinas Lagoon. This was just one day after a huge storm hit San Francisco and the roads and trails were definitely a mess with branches and trees fallen everywhere. After the hail stopped falling, we got a relatively dry (read: not soaked) hike in and when the fog finally cleared the view was incredible. While it was was incredibly difficult to be in a place filled with such strong memories, it was great to spend time with Carter and Karen and start the process of building new memories. 
Looking out toward the Farallone Islands from a bluff above Stinson Beach. The sky was so clear you could see all the Farallones including the north islands. 
Perhaps not the best picture of either of us but i am smiling at least.
