It has definitely been hot. I went to the Petroglyph monuments and hiked the trails to look at the carvings left by the ancient Pueblos some time ago. They used stones to carve signs into the basalt rock from an ancient volcano.
I then went to Old Albuquerque Town to look at the artisans and different shops.
I then went to a trailhead in the Cibola National Forest to camp for free among the Juniper forest. Very peaceful.
I then stopped at a couple different places to hike in the morning.
One of my hikes took me along the Rio Grande.
