	\| History \| Southern New Mexico is packed with historical and archeological sites. Native Americans mapped this landscape for subsistence, trade and community welfare; pioneers settled and mined, farmed and ranched. There are military forts and battlefields, railroads, missile ranges and cultures that clashed and joined together; all these contribute to our rich Southwestern heritage.	\| Wildlife \| Early morning: Deer, Elk and Mustangs make their way into meadows to graze as birds call and answer bringing the morning to life. Bald Eagles perch in snags by lakes and ponds while watching for fish and small mammals. Toward evening, Black Bears, Mountain Lions, Bobcats, Coyotes, Fox, Ringtails and Raccoons begin to make their rounds. (For wildlife viewing, plan on at least before sunrise travel, or ask about extended tour options)

	\| Environments \| From the snow melt on the tops of the Sierras and Sacramento mountains and the summer monsoon rains, water is quickly absorbed into the land of this dry climate from timberline and pine forests to pinion-juniper grasslands and white sands desert. Within an hour from Ruidoso, we can enjoy any of five distinct ecosystems with panoramic scenery, seasonal wild flowers and many varieties of cactus and other fascinating plants.	\| Your Guide \| Blake Martin is a musician who has lived in the Ruidoso area for over 30 years. He is an anthropology student from the University of New Mexico and has worked in many fields including wildlife documentary, historic zone hospitality, high adventure guiding, and capture/release trapping. He has emergency medical training and enjoys sharing the many facets of this beautiful area with visitors of all ages.
