Galisteo Basin Preserve

View from the Happy Valley Overlook within the Galisteo Basin Preserve

My sweetie and I headed out to the Galisteo Basin Preserve for some hiking today.

We only did a couple miles, but there was a good bit of elevation change in there and some pretty spectacular views.

And as an added bonus, we got sandwiches from Upper Crust Pizza, and they were some of the tastiest sandwiches we’ve ever had. Apparently we worked up good appetites.

Edited to add: Also remembered that we got to see the Amtrak train headed west from one of the overlooks. That was neat.
