We hiked the Rio Grande West Rim Trail. It follows the edge of the gorge from the Rio Grande Gorge bridge, a National Historic bridge that is over 600 feet above the river. (We were warned by a hiker coming out that a tarantula was on the trail ahead and be careful not to step on it.)
And I just can’t wait for the Pizza, Salad and Orange Fanta on Ice at Pizanos in El Prado NM.
You won’t want to leave. What a beautiful place.
Did you see the tarantula? Beautiful hike💕
No sightings of the wary tarantula. It did make E’s eyes go wide for awhile.
From the Taos Newspaper
“Enviro brief: Tarantula ‘migration’ underway
By Cody Hooks
Every fall, the roads around Northern New Mexico are dotted with tarantulas. Though many people call it a “migration,” it really isn’t; male spiders go on the move to find a mate.”
Don’t mention Tarantula because I will run for the hills.
