Great, great photos as usual. The one you asked about, well I don't like that darn deep hole behind you.
I am going to Santa Fe in April and I hope to get out for part of a day to see some old ruins, if that is in fact what they are called.
My cousins have their grandson, 25 or so, staying with them. I am sure he will be glad to drag an old guy along on an half day hike.
Do you use walking sticks when you hike? I see one of your hiking partners has one.

I don't mind heights too much so being out on a ledge doesn't bother me. A lot of what I do has some amount of exposure but generally nothing too serious, it often looks worse than it is.
I generally do not use hiking sticks except for rare occasions like loose scree hills or a lot of stream crossings.
Some people use them all of the time but they can get in the way if you are scrambling a lot.
If time permits, stop by Moab, and I can show you some great stuff

Thank you for the offer to visit. I will only be in NM for 4 days and then back home. I would like to stop by sometime though.

Eat breakfast at Tia Sophia's just off the square in Santa Fe, and a must is the green chili cheese burger from The Bobcat Bite.

Thank you for the tips Mike.

My cousins have lived in Santa Fe for over 20 years. And now
I am bragging, they were recently honored as Santa Fe's Living
Treasures. Ali MacGraw was similarly honored at the same time.

Wow, then you have the best guides. My wife was born and raised in Santa Fe and we went there 2-3 times a year. When they call Santa Fe "The City Different ", it certainly is true. No other town or state Capitol like it.

Awe-inspiring pictures Peter Kaufman. Thank you

I was out of the country for a while in March, but glad to be back and on Saturday, we were back in the Needles district of Canyonlands to do the 12 mile hike to Druid arch again. It was overcast for a good part of the hike but we did get some sun on the way out. We ran into a friendly LE ranger hiking in on the way out, first one I had seen on the trails there.
Here are some photos from the trip

Glad you returned safely Peter. Nice pics once again.

Why Holland? Just wondering. I would go to Italy if I had the chance, North of Milano in the Lake region. Did you take some pictures of your thumb in the dam? Lol.
Your Moab pictures are always a highlighter.
