According to the ABQ Balloon Fest schedule, there aren't any balloon activities planned for the evening we anticipate arrival in Santa Fe. We saw again tonight the amazing Mystery of Chaco Canyon docu on PBS, and are now wondering if we might detour at Gallup to gaze upon Chaco from a respectful distance. We once flew over Acoma, having visited it years ago, and enjoyed the different perspective and context from the air. Maybe we'll get a raven's eye view of Chaco, in the hope of going back to walk it in the future. Then we might also detour a bit south out of Santa Fe the next morning in time to see some balloons in the valley.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thinking about all this got me thinking about what else we might watch for along the general route. If you know of something that would be noteworthy from one or two thousand feet above, please let us know.

Still pondering Chaco. One minute "Yes" and the next, "No time." Curious how it will unfold...
How can one do such a trip of a lifetime and say, "no time."
just a reflective comment; have a great trip!
Citizen, I like your question because it helps me keep some focus on the True Nature of this trip: freedom to explore. In this context it might have been more accurate for me to say "our choice is to save Chaco for a return trip." What I like about this decision is we're likely then to figure out a way to fly over, land and walk it, and perhaps fly over again. Great way to experience special places, as we've so often found in the Santa Barbara area. So again, thanks for the reminder!
