Fort Union

Posted on July 20, 2016 by Donna Catterick

With four seasons:  snow, wind, heat, and beautiful.  I was lucky enough to see beautiful. Might have been a tough posting in other seasons.

    That is beautiful. I’ve never been there but I’ve wanted to go for some time. Is it worth it?

      It’s interesting. I’m not totally interested in forts, but I like the starkness of the area. And the land closer to Watrous should be great for birding. I stayed at the Plaza in Las Vegas and made a couple of day trips – one to Watrous and one to Mora and one east. Fun.

        I will have to check it out next time I’m in the area. I have a job site in just outside of Las Vegas. And yes, it’s a great birding area. I’ve gone to the refuges north of there. Maybe next time I will try the fort. And you’re right about the weather!!

    I think this is one of New Mexico’s special places. You’ve captured the starkness, the isolation of it well.

    I love the “messy skies” of the southwest. This one is perfect.
