Day 27: Fri,
7/8: Angel Fire Mountain Bike Area near
Red River/Taos, NM
Angel Fire Ski Area has over 29 miles of
incredible single-track mountain bike trails—including 3 good
beginner/intermediate trails. After
driving 30 minutes to get there, we took the chairlift up with our bikes and
came down the beginner Easy Street trail.
Andrea and Sam absolutely loved this place. The runs had rolling berms, jumps, bumps,
bridges, and ramps. Sarah and Ryan had
their good moments and bad moments and overall liked it. Sarah did 2 runs, Ryan and Andrea 3, and Sam
4 runs. On the drive back home along the
Enchanted Highway, we saw a herd of 23 elk with a cute baby in a meadow (the
pictures didn’t turn out well so no posts).
We pulled over and watched them start running through the meadow and
jumping over a fence. For some reason,
about 4 of them turned back looking very concerned and started running back
towards the treeline they had come from.
So they all jumped back over the fence and ran across the meadow and back
to the treeline. We thought maybe they
were going back for a missing baby elk, but we couldn’t see what they did back
in the trees. They were great to watch. In camp, we showered, did laundry and enjoyed
our last night along the river.
