Erin Sanborn Supports the Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Act
New Mexico Green Chamber of Commerce Taos Chapter Executive Director Erin Sanborn discusses what the Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Act means to her. The Columbine-Hondo, located in the high country of northern New Mexico, is one of the most treasured places in the state and a key attraction for the local tourism economy. People come to these mountains for recreation, solitude, and to spend time with their families, and invariably they leave with their wallets a little lighter. The area also offers some of the best hunting and fishing opportunities in the state, with high-elevation coldwater fisheries, and unparalleled habitat for elk, deer, and antelope.
The Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Act, introduced by U.S. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, would designate the 45,000-acre Columbine-Hondo area in Taos County as wilderness. The bill would also expand the Wheeler Peak Wilderness by approximately 650 acres while modifying a boundary in order to create a loop trail accessible by mountain bikes along the Lost Lake trail from Taos Ski Valley to the East Fork trail to Red River.

Hike to the Trampas Lakes 8.15.14
Another amazing hike in New Mexico! I wish I would have been quick enough to photograph the beautiful black bear that I nearly walked into, but he turned tail and ran from me. It was a gift to see him and to know that they are out there and healthy. Respect our planet, demand clean water and air from those in power, never take nature for granted!
