over 4 years agoThis is one of the most beautiful places I have been to in my entire life. White beaches with spraypainted tanks in the sand, amazingly clear water for fantastic snorkeling, isolated spots on the island for hikes and more snorkeling, and at night the ocean is illuminated by bio-reactive algae that glow green when you swim.
over 5 years agoThe Jemez Valley is one of my favorite spots in New Mexico — it’s drive that takes you through some amazing villages and reservations, and finally into a wooded valley loaded with hot springs. While there are some more developed hot springs like the one at the buddhist center, there are others where hidden in the hills that provide you an amazing view of the sky and valley. As a bonus, it’s usually not terribly crowded either. Definately a mystical spot.
