First hike 2026

January 1, 2026. Contemplation Trail. Albuquerque.

Lucy and Eric invited Tricia and me to a New Year’s Day hike at Contemplation Trail in the bosque near the Rio Grande.

Lucy brought the camera her Uncle Sean gave her for Christmas.

Clearly she knows how to work her camera better than I know how to work my trekking poles.
