- Hiking trails around the High Lks, Green River, and Schultz Creek Basin
- Road access to Fawn Lk & Green River
- Tent campground at Fawn Lk

Faith, tribal leaders in NM say the rollback of protections around Chaco Culture National Historical Park feels rushed and disrespectful.

So I won't be voting for SenatorRisch.

Photo looking across green rolling grassy hills with a trail passing through, and oak trees, and shrubs on either side. Sky overhead is blue. Hills in background have dense tree cover.

Photo: view across tree covered hill, toward distant mountains, just after sunset. Lowest valleys are filled with hazy mist, in the sky in the distance is a light pink grading into yellow orange.

Lovely quick camping trip down to Henry W Coe State Park. Realized I hadn't been to the HQ area in a few years. Enjoyed some wildflowers, great views, and a rowdy dawn bird chorus. The acorn woodpeckers are the background soundtrack everywhere.
