"Cibola: A Journey Through Time and Nature" Step into the world of Cibola, a place that holds both historical significance and natural beauty. Named after the legendary Seven Cities of Gold, a region in New Mexico that has captivated explorers for centuries. One such explorer was Hernando de Alarcon, a Spanish navigator who ventured into these lands in the 1500s. His footsteps echo through time as we wander along the 10K Trail in the majestic Sandia Mountains. As fall leaves carpet our path, we are reminded of the changing seasons and the fleeting nature of life. Amongst this autumnal landscape, quaking aspens stand tall, their golden leaves shimmering like precious treasures. Looking up through their understory reveals a mesmerizing sight - branches reaching towards the sky as if yearning to touch something beyond our grasp. The Cibola National Forest embraces these mountains with open arms, offering refuge to diverse flora and fauna. Fall grasses sway gently on the 10K Trail, painting a picturesque scene against the backdrop of towering peaks. Nature's symphony continues on Ojito de San Antonio trail where we encounter a hairy woodpecker going about its daily routine. Its rhythmic pecking resonates with ancient stories whispered by wind-swept canyons. But Cibola's history extends beyond its natural wonders; it also lies within artifacts left behind by unknown creators from centuries past. Bowls depicting masks atop bighorn-sheep heads transport us back to an era when art merged with spirituality. A bird with outstretched wings adorns another bowl - symbolizing freedom and grace captured forever in clay. Abstract geometric motifs dance upon polychrome bowls, revealing intricate patterns woven by skilled hands long ago. Intriguingly irregular bands of stripes zigzag across one bowl while black interlocking lattice contrasts starkly with white squared spirals on another.
