Tucked away in the middle of New Mexico you’ll find Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. We will visit two of the three distinct sites, Quarai and Abo,  offering a glimpse into a unique time in history. These sites offer a quiet place to reflect on this history, local archeology and the Land of Enchantment. This outing affords abundant photo opportunities, with time to walk about, maybe finding inspiration for a quick poem or a quick sketch. We’ll MEET up at the Lowe’s parking lot 12th Street, Albuquerque, then proceed by our vehicles’ caravan on I-40 East to Tijeras, then head south on NM-337. WEAR comfortable attire and sturdy shoes. BRING clothing layers, hats, sunscreen, water and a picnic lunch. Total combined walking distance about 1 mile, at about 6000 feet elevation, with about 50 feet of elevation change.
