Ever wondered what it's like to hike through a landscape that seems plucked straight from a science fiction novel? Join me, Craig, the Natural Medic, as I recount my thrilling adventure through the surreal Bisti Badlands of San Juan County, New Mexico. In this episode, I navigate bizarre rock formations like hoodoos and discover fascinating sites such as the "egg hatchery" and the "rock garden." Despite the obstacles of unmarked trails, a minor injury, and the scorching midday sun, I share invaluable tips for future explorers on how to safely and fully enjoy this breathtaking wilderness by starting early in the morning.
In the second part of the episode, I'm joined by my friends David and another companion for an unforgettable trip, filled with laughter and camaraderie. Reflecting on our journey, I discuss the lessons learned, like the importance of carrying sufficient water and getting an early start. I also invite listeners who have ventured to this unique location to share their own stories and insights. Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy the natural wonders of the San Juan Wilderness with us, and be sure to like, subscribe, and stay tuned for more exciting adventures on the trail!
