Description
I made this panoramic image of the Sandia Mountains from the Elena Gallegos Open Space area after we came down the mountains on the Pino Trail. The Cibola National Forest is crisscrossed by miles and miles of amazing trails that travel through different life zones due to the change in elevation of the Sandias. Starting with the desert grassland and savannah, we climbed trough the Pi�on-Juniper-evergreen Oak zone to reach the majestic ponderosa pines. I was very sad to go back down, but we still had many activities to do before the day was over...Once at the trailhead, I noticed the beautiful clouds and the "virga" falling from some cumulus and I set up my tripod and camera to snatch this 6-image panorama. Thanks for looking! FAA watermark WILL NOT show on final printed image.
