Wild Hops! Little Toad Creek's Hop-A-Long Pale ale. Made with Neomexicanus hops foraged from the Gila forest. It is delightful. Crisp, earthy, and slightly spicey with a very distinct fruitiness I've only found from Neomexicanus hops that is almost grapelike. 1/

The Bisti Badlands feature a variety of unique rock formations, such as hoodoos and cracked eggs, created by millions of years of erosion on layered sandstone, shale, mudstone, and coal. The landscape was once a swamp in an inland sea during the late Cretaceous period.

I remember the first time my grandmother took me to see the bats fly out. One of them landed in the hair of a lady sitting next to me. She freaked tf out. Mini me was highly entertained by her response, which probably didn't help that woman's overall outlook. The bat flew off unscathed.

Madrid was once a thriving coal mining town. Industrial-scale production started in the 1890s, peaking in the 1920s. When the coal market declined after World War II, the mines closed. The town became a near ghost town before being revitalized in the 1970s as an artist colony.

Well fed prairie dogs at the Valles Caldera.
Gunnison's prairie dogs are abundant in the Valles Caldera. They have a complex social structure, with a sophisticated alarm call system, and live in interconnected burrows that have separate areas for sleeping, eating, and waste.

The original site partitioned for Las Cruces is the Mesquite Historic District. The U.S. Army laid out 84 blocks, each containing four lots. One hundred and twenty men gathered to draw lots from a hat to determine who got which site.
