Sandia Crest Ride in Reverse (Addendum)


I created the original post "Sandia Crest Ride in Reverse" a few weeks ago, but since then I've received some more photos from my friends that I wanted to include in that post. But I didn't want them to get lost, and felt they needed their own, updated, more current post. You can find the original post, by clicking on the label below, "Sandia Crest Ride in Reverse".
So, here are the photos.

This photo is from the original post, to tie into the rest of the more recent photos.

Apache and I standing on the Kiwanis Cabin stone steps, after we had ridden inside the cabin. My friend Ginny on her Friesian cross gelding, and my friend Yvonne on her QH mare.



Kiwanis Cabin as seen from the Sandia Peak Tramway. Looking north. (Now scroll back to the previous photo....pretty amazing, huh?)



After we rode to the Kiwanis Cabin, we stopped off at the restrooms below the Sandia Crest House.
Our horses were like celebrities, with people stopping by to take photos and pet our horses.



Apache took it all in stride. She is very tolerant and patient.



After riding along the Crest Trail, I found a great view spot to have our photo taken.
Apache and I with the city of Albuquerque far below us.



This photo was also in the original post, but it shows the amazing view we had from our lunch location.
I was very proud of Yvonne sitting so close to the edge, as she has a fear of heights.



This is a newer photo that includes me during our lunch stop, so I wanted to include it, too.




After lunch, we continued riding north on the Crest Trail until we reached the 10K trail.
Apache and I just moseying along enjoying the beautiful forest.
 

When we returned to the parking area, I took this adorable photo of Apache next to my trailer. Awww! She's so pretty!



Sometimes when I'm riding my Apache mare and we are surrounded by beautiful nature, I am filled with so much joy and happiness, that my hands just fly up into the air. It's as if I am able to hug everything all around me!
My friend Ginny captured this photo of Apache and I and I love it!




Life is Awesomely Good!!
