Today we escaped the desert heat with an enjoyable 8-mile hike in the San Pedro Parks Wilderness area, north of Albuquerque in the Santa Fe National Forest. The “parks” in this area are the many grassy meadows that are interspersed throughout the forests.

During the hottest part of the day up there today it was only 70 degrees, while here in Albuquerque it was over 90 degrees.
