While others attended a memorial for the deceased, prolific Taos author John Nichols (the Milagro Bean Field War), I honored him by climbing Tres Orejas. Tres Orejas, or Three Peaks, is a dead volcano rising above the western Taos Plateau, a beacon in all directions with its three bumps or “ears” easily detected among other volcanic mountains in the distance. According to one of our hiking group members, John Nichols describes this climb in his book, “The Last Beautiful Days of Autumn”, when he takes his 80-year-old father up the most southern peak. Now that I have been there, I can’t wait to read this book. I’ve been on a kick of reading books about adventuresome places where I have been myself. I can mentally redo the trip without the physical effort.
Dami- Thanks for sharing this. I wished I had known about this last time I was in Taos. Could've made a stop. I'll definitely have to consider the visit next time I'm there. Hope you're well this week. Cheers, -Thalia
