Day 3 hike 2. We hit this up on our way down for 2 nights in Old Town Albuquerque. A perfect stop for a short hike, some history and a picnic lunch.

The Great Kiva was way impressive as was the entire complex. Especially finding out that the massive beams were carried 50+ miles from the forests in Durango. This is really worth a stop if you are in the area. The pictures don't do it justice.

Nice overnight in the Anchas to check out fall colors and check a few new things off our lists!

First we stopped by Workman creek to see the waterfall and check out the views of the fall colors. This viewpoint had nice views of lots of reds, orange and yellows although it wasn’t at peak yet! Flow on waterfall was minimal.

Next we drove up to Aztec Peak and walked over to check out the ruins. The “flinstones style” table and chairs were fun and unique (and comfy!) and there is an additional traditional dwelling there that’s not in great condition.

Next up was the orchard, which had been on both of our lists for a while. Sadly, the apple trees didn’t produce this year due to an early freeze. The trees were bare :( We walked around the whole area enjoying the solitude.

Lastly we went to Reynolds creek and relaxed (off trail) while listening to the water flowing and peeping the fall colors (plus enjoying a couple of beverages). Minimal foliage over here at this point.

Weather took a turn for the worse on Sunday and it was a fun muddy drive back to Pine. The 4Runner was covered including the roof :D

Got some Blake's on the way home and ate at the picnic area at Aztec. Down to two vehicles now. The new museum displays in the VC are amazing, and of course the structures themselves are still impressive. It was great to get to finish off the trip with a stop at Aztec, which I hadn't been to in a long time.

Interesting visit. Their kiva, which has been reconstructed, is quite impressive.

Definitely worth seeing these ruins. Loved all the intact ceilings and the one intact mat door covering (super amazing). The green stones were fascinating to me. Reconstructed kiva is huge and you can walk through it.
