Artificial upwelling is a form of geoengineering that aims to use pipes and pumps to channel cool, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface. In doing so, it could fertilize surface waters, prompting the growth of plankton, which can then absorb and store large amounts of atmospheric carbon.

America’s newest high-altitude thru-hike: Santa Fe to Taos
Presentation at Travel Bug in Santa FeIts not often you have the opportunity to enjoy something completely new in the world of hiking and high-altitude adventure, but that is just the case now in New Mexico. On Saturday evening (May 31) we attended a presentation and guidebook signing at Travel Bug Books for America’s newest high altitude trek: The Santa Fe to Taos Thru-Hike.
Nambe Lake: Source: reddit.comThis 132 mile long trek takes you from Santa Fe Plaza in the heart of this lovely capital city, high up in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to well over 11,000 feet, and eventually back down to the gorgeous city of Taos and its historic plaza.
Source: santafetotaos.orgConceived, organized, trekked, and established over a ten-year period by avid hiker Pam Neely, this thru-hike will take you through some of the most stunning scenery in New Mexico. This includes: Santa Fe Ski Basin, Trailriders Wall, the Pecos Wilderness, Santa Barbara Divide, El Nogal, two national forests, and numerous streams and alpine lakes including Baldy and Nambe (see photos).
Trailriders Wall – Source: summitpost.orgThe new pocket-sized guidebook is an excellent resource for those planing to hike straight through or planning to tackle the trek in pieces and parts. She also a series of six 11″ x 17″ maps available depicting segments of the route landing from 18.7 to 26.2 miles in length. The guidebook and maps identify key points along the trail, other connecting trails, suggested camping places, points of access to water sources, and a variety of other useful information.

One may start at 7,000 feet at either end of this thru-hike, but in-between are a series of climbs and descents that truly define this storied and enchanted landscape. Whether you hike the entire 132 mile length or simply small day-hike segments, the Santa Fe to Taos Thru-Hike will stir your senses to the rugged and serene beauty of New Mexico. Peace!
