Guide Training 2022

For 40 years I’ve had the great privilege of introducing the wonderful world of whitewater rafting to those willing to get out and get wet. I stand proud knowing that I have the opportunity to start them on the road to the GREATEST JOB IN THE WORLD!

A view few experience of the 7th highest bridge in the USA. The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, locally known as the “Gorge Bridge” or the “High Bridge”, is a steel deck arch bridge across the Rio Grande Gorge 10 miles northwest of Taos, New Mexico, United States. Roughly 600 ft above the Rio Grande, it is the seventh highest bridge in the United States. brittrunyonimages.com

Snack Stroll

Hiking the trails of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument you sometimes encounter some local residents. This healthy coyote appeared to be on a snack stroll. #coyote#NaturePhotographyhttp://brittrunyon.com

Apache Drums

On this weeks “sanity ride” we headed for the high country of the Carson NF and the Tusas Mountains. Forest Service Rd. 111 dropped us in downtown La Madera, population 157. Here’s the obligatory photo in front of the community center, the Apache Drums.

Abiquiu Autumn

A simple road sign on Highway 285 of Northern New Mexico where a decision must be made. Turn right and head for the Ojo Caliente Hot Spings for a soak or turn left and visit Geogia O’Keeffe country.
Autumn brings the gold leaves of the cottonwood trees and cooler temperatures. It’s a time for getting into the outdoors and absorbing what nature provides.

A view at the crossroads.

Taos Pueblo, New Mexico

Living in Northern New Mexico my life is rich with the sights, the sounds and aromas of Native American culture. The Taos Pueblo, or Pueblo de Taos, is an ancient pueblo which is home to the Tiwa speaking pueblo Native Americas. It’s about 1,000 years old and located about 75 miles North of New Mexico’s capitol city Santa Fe. The community was built on the banks of the Rio Pueblo de Taos, also known as Rio Pueblo and Red Willow Creek, whose headwaters are in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The unique adobe architecture is utterly amazing to say the least. This image was taken when I was there at the first annual Dennis Hopper Day Celebration in 2014.
