Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary (WSWS) offers guests an eye-opening, educational experience centered on…read moretheir rescue pack of wolf dogs. I was visiting New Mexico in January and was bummed to see that WSWS was closed online; however, after reaching out in advance, Brittany was kind enough to accommodate our visit. I'm so glad that she did since it was one of the highlights of my trip! When we arrived, we met Stephanie at the visitor center. We had to knock several times to get a response, and when she opened the door, customer service was nonexistent. There was a scheduling mishap with our tour, and she made my friend and I feel unwelcome from the moment we arrived. She told us that we could walk around, but nobody would be available to give us a tour. My friend and I went outside, and fortunately, one of the staff passed by then turned around to guide us through the sanctuary. August was a fantastic guide and completely made up for the poor experience that we initially had. He was extremely knowledgeable, and it was awesome to hear about each dog's story, their care, and the community's support for WSWS. I decided to sponsor Atlas, a 12-year old wolf dog, and look forward to staying up to date on his well being.

Don't miss this if you're anywhere nearby. Doing the route 66 through New Mexico it's not that long a drive from Gallup. There aren't too many places to stay down here but right next-door (by local standards) is the El Morro RV camp and cabins, which also has an excellent restaurant. Another travel tip - if you're coming down here come on Wednesday or Thursday and stay over the weekend. Things are closed at the beginning of the week, including the not to be missed El Morro National Monument.

Fine, here's what I'll say. This place qualifies as yet another fantastic venue to take in the epic alien landscape that this area of New Mexico provides the eye. I mean, grass on this here plot of Mars simply shouldn't exist, but here it is. Hitting a ball around the place, especially surrounded by the occasional coyote, sounds like the kind of golfing trip I'd actually enjoy. There's a decent pro shop, and while the kitchen doesn't offer a lot of dining options, the people who work here qualify as five star. Aside from the facility, grounds and people, the best reason to make the pilgrimage is to get a look at the enormous abandoned greenhouse on the drive over. What a massive endeavor, amazing, I've never seen something on that magnitude and scale. Let's hope someday it's retrofitted with solar panels and allows Grants to supply the state with renewable joy.
