Tristan Willey

A distiller and bar owner who splits his time between Albuquerque, NM and Brooklyn, NY. Running, hiking, climbing and camping to balance out the whiskey and the beer.

How it took me so long to get over to this haven perched in between Albuquerque and Santa Fe I have no idea. Beautiful slot canyons, the crazy looking hoodoos, and the wide open mesas all come together a beautiful outing. It's not long, but it does have a short section of steep hiking, enough to get your heart rate up at least a little. Be ready for the $5 entry fee and they close the top climb much earlier then the park closing time. Great day trip that's not actually as far from either city as you would think.
