The drive to this resort from Durango Downtown was insane! I was driving the actual speed limit, but other people are speeding on this icy road. I was so nervous yet had tons of fun 😁🩷

📍Aztec Ruins National Monument, New Mexico

This amazing Puebloan Remains was mistakenly named Aztec Ruins when the early Spaniard thought it was built by the same Aztec people in Mexico. Time passed by, and they just went with Aztec Ruins

Another mind-blowing spot in New Mexico! This is one of the trails in El Malpais National Monument. Just a few steps from the parking, there's already entrance caves to lava tubes! To bad spelunking is not permitted on winter season. Yet, i enjoyed this place so much!

They say there's nothing to see in New Mexico... They were wrong... The very first National Monument that I visited is called El Morro. I originally wanted to see just the Inscription Wall, but after talking to the ranger, I decided to hike to the full Headland loop trail. From the top, I saw the beautiful surroundings and the Zuni Puebloan ruins. Finally, I arrived in the Inscription wall. There's over 2000 inscriptions that dated hundreds of years ago, including the Petroglyphs 🤯🤯🤯

Before 2024 ended, I finished visiting all the Southwestern National Parks! I am so happy to see these amazing places that were preserved for us to witness to this day. The Collectors Edition Passport helped me plan the last road trip of 2024. I'm looking forward to what 2025 road trip has to offer!

As I step into the new year, I am filled with anticipation and a sense of adventure. Recently, I took a leap of faith and enrolled in a challenging class that pushed me fast beyond my comfort zone. The party few days have been a whirlwind of physical and mental endurance, testing my limits in every way.

Despite the difficulties, I wouldn't change anything thing if I had to stay over. In fact, i crave more of this kind of growth and learning. My desire is to become proficient and self-assured in my pursuits. The only obstacle is finding like-minded companions to share in these experiences.

However, im undeterred. I'm driven by insatiable hunger to explore, learn, and push beyond my boundaries. As I embark on this new year, I'm eager to see where this journey takes me and what new challenges await!

What are you looking forward to this coming new year?

If you looked at the map, getting here seems easy, but not really. After a few 4x4 fun on the dirt road, we decided to hike the rest of the trail to reach another historical site in Superior. Reading more about this Wagon Wheel Tracks' history just blows my mind! I am fascinated with history if you can't tell! 😅😅😅

After late lunch at Porter's Saloon & Grill, we headed to the historic Claypool Tunnel. Just right by the new Queen Creek Tunnel is the scenic parking to the trailhead. We did not hike all the way to the bridge as there was a construction going.

This arboretum is an oasis in the middle of the desert! Along the trail is the Picket Post house, and as you continue on the loop, you'll get to the Instagram popular, especially in the fall season, the suspension bridge.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum is one of the botanical gardens that I've been wanting to check out. There are two batches of these images because I can only post 10 pictures 😅 and we didn't expect to hike the whole huge loop of the garden yet there's still so much to explore on the side trails!

Camping at Superior with Weaver's Needle view. Great people and good food! I was so full 😩

Good morning, Phoenix!

There is another Regional Park beside the White Tanks! Forgive me as I do not spend much time exploring the valley. I am more familiar with further remote places than where I live. Also, I'm not a fan of cities, so when I see these places close by, I feel like I am a foreigner in my own area! 😆🤣😂

These two Arizonian converts (the other one is me) trying our best not to freeze while waiting for the nachos to be warm. As soon as we inhaled the nachos, we packed up so fast and hit the road home 🚗🏡
