In June we spent some time with friends at their Cabin in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. It was very hot in the desert, but nice and cool up at the cabin above 8k ft. We did some hiking around the area, played games and visited two national parks.
White Sand National Park was interesting and fun for the kids to go sledding in summer. Apparently, the sand is made of gypsum, the stuff that's used to make drywall. We played around until the heat was too intense, then had a nice lunch in Alamogordo to celebrate Shyll's b-day.
If you've never had a chance to visit Carlsbad caverns, you should add it to your bucket list. I was amazed at how you go down, down, down and keep going down. This series of caves goes on for miles. A legitimate hike that's all underground was a fun way to explore while avoiding the heat. There's even a restaurant/gift shop down in the caves.
We did some shooting and also visited the space museum. That area is famous for having some of the best night sky viewing in the country.
