I was on a hike on the Fourth of July trail yesterday

The one in the Monzanos? How's the color?

I flew over that area in a SW flight about 20 years ago, and I thought I was seeing things. Wasn't until about 7 years ago that I stumbled across a description on the Internet.

Yep, east side of the Manzanos. Between Tajique and Torreon. And now I can say I've been to Chilili!
Color's fantastic, will try and post some pix tomorrow.

I thought we were getting the shaft in south SA with the cloud deck and then it broke enough like Premium's pictures on the coast.

Fourth of July Trail, Tajique, NM on Satuday





This is picture during the height of annular eclipse.

Excellent photos. The only time we've managed to get there in the fall, it was after peak.

For those who don't know, this is a stand of maples in the pine forest of the Monzano Mountains SE of Albuquerque. To get there, you drive east to Tijeras on I-49, then drop south on winding two lanes. The last few miles are dirt roads.

I assume this is sort of like Lost Maples in Texas, a stand of maple trees where they really shouldn't be

Some of the Salinas Mission churches from the 1700s are in the same general area

There must be a different wave length of light from the edge of the sun. Yes it was dim, but not like when three is a cloud over the sun. The light seemed like it was a different color

I commented on the same thing. Felt like bad fluorescent lighting or something.

Last time I saw that it meant it was a fertile egg.
