For those of us heading to the spiritual retreat in Taos, let's take a short trip to the Earthships (https://taos.org/what-to-do/landmark-sites/earthship-biotecture/). We're still working out whether or not we can get a guided tour, but we will at least do the self-guided 1.5 hour tour.

Lazy Yak Ranch and Colorado Hiking

As many of you have heard, Alex's 5-year quest to track down yak butter in the US (and Europe) is about to come to a close. We will drive up to Del Norte, Colorado early on Saturday, June 30th (~3hr drive, going up through Carson National Forest), hike in some of the canyons in the area, and visit Lazy Yak Ranch in the afternoon, where we will get to meet Amy Archer, who runs the place, and spend some quality time with her yaks. We will get a full yak-milking tutorial (though, much to my disappointment, because a lot of the process is mechanized, we likely will not be touching yak udders). From here, we will likely get dinner in town, before driving back for the evening, getting some star-gazing in on the way.

Here's a description of a proposed hike (open to other suggestions!):
"Penitente Canyon is a 5.4 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Del Norte, Colorado that offers scenic views and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs and horses are also able to use this trail."
https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/penitente-canyon

And here's a link to the Yak Farm: https://www.facebook.com/lazyyakranch/

Here's a sign up for the event... Please note if you have a car, as this will be used to figure out our car-rental situation. No hard cap on how many can come, so feel free to add more numbers!

Meow wolf is an immersive art thing and it has story in it as well (some mystery of Selig family)!

With the chaos of going to Meow wolf, let’s make time slots and get a head count (there is group discount price)

Early in the morning, tentatively leave at 9:30AM (it opens at 10:00AM, it will be less crowded around that time), also after that, we could head downtown

Jemez Hot Springs

New plan: since the free hot springs are on public land, they are all closed due to fire danger :( instead go on a hike to Diablo Canyon ( 8-ish mile trail, an hour drive from IAIA). Definitely need water, good shoes, sunscreen! Find Sasha or Amy at brunch to figure out car assignments.

Any chance we could go to the Giggling springs instead to keep the plan for a relaxing activity? Also, is Lavender Fest still part of the plan, as a bunch of us wanted to see that before the hot springs? - Let's coordinate over brunch!

---

(Planning a trip to Jemez Hot Springs this Sunday 6/17 (about 40 mins away). It might be cooler on Sunday after the storm, so it's a good time to get into hot pools of water....

We can go to the more official spa place "Giggling Springs" ($25/hour) or to primitive hot springs nearby (free, no facilities, bit of hiking required on the approach)
http://www.jemezsprings.org/attractions/hot-springs-spas/
http://www.gigglingsprings.com/

please indicate interest below :) tentatively planning to leave before noon.)

Anyone up for visiting the Lavender Festival before? Maybe around 11am?

Hi guys - I'm flexible on leaving time and would enjoy the lavender festival, but want to try the hiking hot springs (not the pay ones). If that sounds good, let me know. We can always split up the cars too. Also, since brunch/breakfast starts at 11, I would like to eat, so maybe leave at 11:20? --Amy

White Sands National Monument of New Mexico

Anyone up for visiting the White Sands national monument of New Mexico? It's a roughly four-hour drive and maybe we could drive down on the second or third weekend?

This is an excerpt form the website: "Rising from the heart of the Tularosa Basin is one of the world's great natural wonders - the glistening white sands of New Mexico. Great wave-like dunes of gypsum sand have engulfed 275 square miles of desert, creating the world's largest gypsum dunefield. White Sands National Monument preserves a major portion of this unique dunefield, along with the plants and animals that live here."

And just to tease you, here's a photo:
