Glad you enjoyed it! There's a part 2 of the south half of the Crest trail if you haven't found that one yet.

Hope you've fully recovered from your fall. What a bummer. Really enjoyed part 1 and will check out part 2 next. Having spent nearly 30 years in ABQ, I've hiked every inch of the Crest trail, although in segments. Did you have a favorite section?

[@smnhc1]

Yup, it healed up well. It was a really neat experience doing each half straight through- felt a lot different than in pieces. One favorite section was the open oak grove with great views soon after the Penasco Blanco intersection (4:50) and other similar sections. On the south Crest trail, I much enjoyed an aspen area with rock cliffs nearish the top (at a little after 2:00 on the Part 2 video).
