This is splendidly "open" as opposed to the steeper mountain walls of beautiful Swiss valleys we see in travel books.

Chris,

I have, sadly never visited, even just the so famous "hot springs". This would be a great place to take my grankids!

What wild life is there here in this area? Just rodents, wild boars and deer? Of course, I would hope for handsome bison, elk, moose, mountain, goats, grizzly bears, and wolves for my pictures!

I am going to visit "National Parks" and get educated!

Are there defined areas to walk versus staying in the car and do folk hire nature guides or just go for it?

Hi, Asher,

If we drive to the nearby mountain town of Cloudcroft, N.M. for dinner or shopping and don't come back down until after dark, we will often encounter elk and moose.

One must be very careful, as the elk and moose are careless and don't always cross the highway at the generic "antlered animal crossing" signs.

Some folks have complained in letters to the newspaper that these crossings should not have been established at such dangerous places on the highway.

Best regards,

Doug

It's the darkness! The signs should be in Braille!
