Episode 03: Valles Caldera

Valles Caldera displays a unique landscape from the rest of New Mexico. This ancient volcano swallowed itself, leaving a lush crater surrounded by distant ridges and whole mountainsides with barren, matchstick trees. The vast expanse is peaceful and I enjoyed my solitude. The setting is quiet with a deep sense of stillness. Perfect for my tai chi and qi gong practice…
