Haven’t been on the mountain bike for awhile. I forgot how fun it was! #mtb #BlackRange #NewMexico #southwest
Life has been crazy busy lately, so today I needed a “day of rest.” So I went out and did some trail maintenance to relax. #newmexico #southwest #blackrange #mountains #trail
Before and after's of our little adobe/slag-block house in Hillsboro New Mexico. Built around 1895, restored 2025. Probably the only slag-adobe combination building anywhere. #southwest #adobe #architecture #historic #home #newmexico #blackrange #sierracountynm
I love this little adobe in our little town of Hillsboro New Mexico. I hope someone can save it eventually. #southwest #blackrange #historic #adobe #sierracountynm

Woohoo! Monsoons have arrived in the Black Range! The thing about SW New Mexico- it may not rain for 6 months, but when it does, it’s no freaking joke! #HillsboroNewMexico #southwest #BlackRange #sierracountyNM

The original post office.
The Hermosa Hotel. The interior is still in beautiful shape.
We were lucky enough to be invited to the old town of Hermosa NM (now private) last Sept. This was a booming mining town in the Black Range in the 1880's-90's #newmexico #explore #ghosttowns #blackrange #history #miningtown #southwest
Slag block houses in Hillsboro, NM. At the Smelter in the 1880’s, they poured slag into iron forms to make the blocks. Each block is like black glass and weighs over 100 lbs. #newmexico #hillsboronm #blackrange #victorianhomes #history
Hillsboro experienced a steep population decline in the 1890s, with a population of about 1200 by 1907. Today, Hillsboro is an eclectic and charming combination of artists, ranchers, writers, and folks who prefer to live life at a slower pace.
