Thank you so very much! I imagine our style of filming and editing isn't everyone's cup of tea but we try to be a bit different and provide a calmer alternative in our explorations and adventures. Though we do have a tendency for silliness here and there too. 😅

Good memories. My dad took my brother and me to the Catwalk when were very young. It had to be in the early 1960s, so perhaps it was the old trail. The Catwalk seemed new and sparkly at the time though. I remember being a little scared of the heights but pressed on. Lucky you to see all those butterflies!

Went there as a kid and saw bighorn sheep looking down at me. Idk if they are still found in the area or if they have been extirpated but it was a magical experience at the time. Like seeing a unicorn. There are also more secluded sections that have been eroded or broken off by rockslides that you have to climb through. It’s probably not the safest but I did it. Magical area.

The butterflies and the humming birds migrate a couple of times a year through New Mexico, The ones you see are born on the trip down and then the ones you see coming back are a different generation of the same kind, they instinctually know where to go and are blown off path by storms and such, but most find their way.
