Ruidoso, New Mexico

MY HORSEBACK ADVENTURE
Guided trail horse ride at Grindstone Stables in New Mexico. Ruidoso offers an array of outdoor activities but I preferred the horse ride. Novice riders like me chose the 1-hour ride through the New Mexico mountains. My horse name was Chango. It was scary but glad I did it.
Ruidoso is a mountain resort town in New Mexico. It is a resort community because of the regions alpine scenery. It is nestled in the Sacramento Mountains in the Lincoln National Forest.

Carlsbad Caverns natural entrance

Entrance to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. One of the world's largest caves with underground chamber. Stalactites, stalagmites, and variety of other formations decorated Carlsbad Cavern.
I joined the guided tour. We started the tour by hiking into the interior rooms from the cave entrance. I rented an audio head set at the visitors center, this provides information cave history. To exit, we took the elevator ride from the center of the public cave area.

In 1850, New Mexico Territory was created, and Eddy, New Mexico, the future Carlsbad, was established in 1888 and New Mexico became a state in 1912.
