Hiking in El Malpais

2021-06-18 04:40:26 UTC
Continuing my landscape journey with the DP Merrill trio, I took an 80-minute drive out west, halfway to the New Mexico-Arizona border. This part of the state is called El Malpais (lit: ”bad country/lands, in Spanish). It gets its name from the lava flows that dot the region.…
