From the top of my land, looking left down the beautiful valley of the North Fork Ranch. Ponderosa Pine thrive on the mountains in this area, imparting a deep green hue that is intermingled with the lighter deciduous Scrub Oak.

Look at the view from the same location, looking to the right! One can see the Rockies! These are the Culebra Mountains which are part of the Sangre De Cristo Mountain Range.

The valley with the greenbelt and Purgatoire River. Majestic Sangres are visible in the background.

Okay, so you are laughing at me in the field hat! One must admit that I look happy hiking my land! Yes it's me, all decked out in my geology field clothes and cameras, standing next to a sedimentary rock outcrop where my land intersects the dirt road that runs through the ranch.

Nature's own landscaping. Yuccas thrive among sedimentary rocks on the land, creating the illusion the scenic landscape was planned and not part of nature's own handiwork.

View from the house. What a gorgeous view to wake up to each morning!

Historic covered bridge covers the Purgatoire River which runs through the North Fork Ranch.

This is the view seen while driving down Route 12, the Scenic Highway of Legends. The Culebras, part of the Sangre De Cristo Mountain Range welcome you with their majestic snowcapped peaks. Route 12 leads to the North Fork Ranch.
