Now, when you land at the Albuquerque Sunport (probably via Southwest Airlines), you might say, darn I've landed in a desert with a couple of shrubs here and there. Sure, the Sandia Mountains have an imposing cameo in this adventure, but just a couple hours north of Albuquerque is, in my opinion, where the true beauty begins. Northern New Mexico is an amalgam of desert, snow capped mountains, mesas, valleys, Pueblo Reservations, and the Rio Grande.
Jess and Lowry's wedding was set in Angel Fire, a ski resort town north of Taos. The day of the wedding we were quite ambitious about our plans for the day. From all of the options, we chose horseback riding - a first for me. Roadrunner Tours was rather inexpensive and what we got in return for our money was a quiet escape in Carson National Forest.
