Rio Arriba County - 16853 U.S. 84 #64, Tierra Amarilla, NM
El Barranco Ranch on the Chama River consists of 440 gorgeous acres, blessed with 1.5 miles of both sides of the Chama River in Northern New Mexico. The El Barranco trio of fly fishing, agriculture, and big game hunting is difficult to match on one property. The ranch offers excellent fly fishing on the trout-rich Chama River, which winds through a beautiful setting of cottonwoods. Fly fishing is a prominent feature, but the opportunity to hunt elk or mule deer cannot be overlooked. The ranch borders the vast, undeveloped acreage of the Jicarilla Apache Nation, as well as the renowned elk and mule deer habitat that exists on those lands. Elk and mule deer routinely visit El Barrancos hayfields and river bottom to feed and water. The ranch is eligible for and has received multiple hunting vouchers. It is not unusual at El Barranco in the early fall to hunt elk or mule deer in the morning, fish for large brown and rainbow trout in the middle of the day, and then enjoy another evening hunt. There is more value than just the first-class recreational aspects of the ranch. Substantial senior water rights lead to great hay production and cattle grazing, which has been the primary focus of the current owners. Farm work can be done hands-on or by retaining existing hay and grazing leases. At a time when live water fishing properties and senior water rights are hard to find, a rare recreational and agricultural opportunity awaits the buyer of this gold medal property. Buyers seeking additional acreage should consider the 270 acre El Barranco East property, located across the highway.

Rio Arriba County - 252 County Rd 156, Abiquiu, NM
Shirley MacLaines Plaza Blanca Ranch, set in the stunning landscapes of Abiqui, New Mexico, is where the beauty of the natural world and spiritual peace converge. The ranch, spanning 7,451 acres, is tucked into the dramatic, otherworldly scenery of northern New Mexicos high desert, and it is surrounded by the kind of striking geological features that have inspired artists, photographers, and writers for generations. Plaza Blanca is perhaps best known for its unique white sandstone formations at the ranchs entrance, which rise sharply from the earth to evoke both the surreal and the sublime. These striking white place cliffs were immortalized by the painter Georgia OKeeffe, who was deeply inspired by the area. This legendary ranch also has thousands of acres of piion/juniper forest interspersed with native grasses. The ranch offers sweeping views of the surrounding Chama River Valley, with its red rock mesas, distant mountains, and vivid sunsets that fill the sky with a spectrum of colors. The large 9,000+ square foot hacienda-style home, originally completely off-grid, now features grid-tied solar and wind power, a courtyard, and water supplied from an artesian water well. A caretakers home, barn, and workshop are all conveniently situated near the hacienda. The expansive ranch shares a 7 mile border with the Carson National Forest, and the terrain features a variety of geologically significant features, with elk, mule deer, and other wildlife cruising the property. The ranch offers the chance to explore thousands of acres for geological anomalies and Native American petroglyphs, several of which have been discovered on the property. Plaza Blanca Ranch has been owned by Ms. MacLaine since 1990, making this a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic property.

For Sale by Owner: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you're welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
Why Are You Selling It So Cheap? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that's our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly...and more of it. In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
Disclaimer: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyers responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable usage for the property.

The Mundy Buck, holder of four world records, is back with the Mundy Ranch!
Legacy Mule Deer never die, they just get larger as the story is passed from generation to generation. Not sure how much larger the widest buck ever entered into the Boone and Crocket (49.5 inches) can get, but the story surrounding this incredible +/-2880 acres ranch (Chama, NM) is certainly one for the record book!
Land
If one looks between Canada and Mexico, it would be very difficult to find a more strikingly beautiful, well-watered, big game mecca than the Mundy Ranch & Mountain Estate! This incredible, diverse holding, located about 10 minutes south of Chama and about 2 hours north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, could easily star in its very own historic documentary.
The terrain varies from a mild +/-7500 ft. to 9000 ft., with staggered benches of Gambel oak andmassive Ponderosa pine-lined meadows that step up to stands of sub-alpine aspens. If water is the gold, then the Mundy Ranch is Ft Knox, with over a dozen bodies of water and several stocked with year-round aerators supporting rainbows up to 5 pounds. Don't forget that fly rod!
There's paved highway and front-gate access, along with exclusive mid-ranch access for the Mundy Ranch owner through the neighboring Ticonderoga ranch.
The Buck
The Mundy Buck, 300+ inches, holder of four world records, including the widest ever (49.5 inches), longest main frame, largest main frame at 246, and by the water displacement method (Burkett System), number 1 in the world, is back with the ranch as of August 2024! (See attached story.) The seller felt the Mundy Buck belonged with the ranch and is proud to convey the buck with the ownership! There has never been a copy or duplicate made of the Mundy Buck.
Improvements
Hunters Cabin
Located mid-ranch, as to allow one to wake up with the animals, is the total off-grid hunters cabin, complete with indoor plumbing, solar system, and back up generator. Serviced by propane and solar, the furnished cabin features a brand new solar system, kitchen, a full bath and an outdoor porch with grill. Providing absolute stealth, located on the edge of a large meadow and several water holes, the Hunters Cabin is perfect for s'mores camping experience for generations to come from grandparents to grandkids.
Mundy Mountain Estate
Miles of ranch roads access the ranch, allowing for incredible hiking, mountain biking, ATV/UTV and snowmobile riding in the winter months.
Years ago, originally split off from the Mundy Ranch, the +/- 3000 acres of the adjacent Ticonderoga Ranch was developed into mountain estates, complete with electric gated access and underground power. Parcels were as little as 2 acres up to 35 acres. Three of the these mountain estates were secured by the owner, located about 700 yds. from a private gate accessing midway into the Mundy Ranch, about halfway up the mountain, providing access to the very heartof the ranch, and miles of ranch access roads without interfering with any of the game bedding or feeding areas.
Along with the 360 degree views, the recently remodeled +/-4000 sq. ft. Mundy Mountain Estate offers +/-4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a 2 car garage, three-sided decks, granite kitchen with stainless appliances and is mostly furnished. Road maintenance, including snow removal and electric gate access, is included in the annual HOA dues of +/- $1700.
Recreation
Located in the prime heart of Big Game Unit 4, documented as one of the highest density elk herds in the country, the Mundy Ranch has experienced very little hunting the last 2 years only one bull elk harvested as the owner has been too busy to utilize the property. The ranch is absolutely flush with mature bulls and bucks All hunting rights covey for 2026.
In a recent New Mexico Chapter of the Dallas Safari Club Gala, held in Albuquerque, there were 39 world-class trophy mule deer bucks displayed, called theNew Mexico Trophy Wall of Fame. Eleven of those bucks were reported to have come from the Mundy Ranch!
The Mundy Ranch has been meticulously managed for trophy big game the last decade, and hardly hunted the last 3 years due to the owners business schedule. 180 to 200 mule deer are seen annually, 300+ bull elk and the ranch manager has reported elk in the 360+ range.
The Mundy Ranch has been enrolled into the New Mexico Landowner Incentive Mule Deer tag program. (Normally two late season tags, but always check regs.) Unit 4 has historically reported 100% draw on regular season landowner mule deer tags, noting the application deadline is mid March each year. B&C mule deer are seen on the Mundy ranch annually, with Rio Arriba County, NM documenting more entries in the Boone & Crockett Mule Deer Record Book than any county in North America every decade since 1960!
THE RANCH RECEIVED 21 LANDOWNER ELK TAGS FOR LAST YEAR, INCLUDING 15 BULL TAGS. TAGS FOR 2026 WILL CONVEY.
The ranch also supports a healthy Merriams turkey population, black bear (all 4 color phases), blue grouse and small game population, with over-the-counter tags. If trophy mule deer or mature bull elk are one of your requirements, this area is sought after as oneof the most desirable areas in the country, carrying one of the highest elk and mule deer densities as there are NO timber wolves (or plans to release them), NO winter kill and NO grizzly bears to affect your landowner big game tag allotment. The ranch has been managed exclusively for trophy mule deer and mature bull elk with habitat improvements such as food plots and feeders. Two brand new Polaris 1500 Ranger Extremes, Northstar Crew Cabs, will convey with the ranch at closing.
Fishing
With several of the small lakes and ponds on wind and solar aeration, these trout-stocked ponds carry the trout even through the winter. Trout up to 5 pounds are stocked in the ponds allowing for an incredible day with family, friends and VIP guests. Also part of the ranch has full recreational rights to the adjacent +/-3000 acre Ticonderoga Ranch with numerous stocked ponds and the most desirable two miles of Chavez Creek with incredible live-water fishing that easily provides for forty fishing days.
Location
With G5 jet-capable airport (Pagosa Springs), there's a hospital, a Walmart and over 30 restaurants an hour away. Wolf Creek Ski Mountain is +/- 90 minutes and Taos is +/- 2 hours.
Turn-keyproperties such as the historic Mundy Ranch, with over 10 years of trophy mule deer and mature bull elk management in place, complete with a furnished Mountain Estate, the world-record Mundy Buck, along with two brand-new Polaris Ranger Extreme 1500 Northstars, stand unmatched. There's simply nothing else comparable.

Humphries Wildlife Management area, the broken butt and quinlan ranches all famous for their wildlife. If you have thought about owning your own ranch you should do yourself a favor and take a look at the Monarch Ranch.
LOCATION
The ranch is located about 7 minutes east of Dulce which is the main city for the Jicarilla Apache Nation. With a full grocery store, casino, and gas you don't have far to go from the ranch to grab some necessities. Should you desire for fine dining, Pagosa Springs is a short 35-40 minute drive from the ranch and Chama is about 25 minutes. With all-weather access and frontage on Highway 64 you can use the ranch even in the winter and snowmobile on the ranch or drive to Wolf Creek ski area which is just over an hour from the ranch.
TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
Monarch Ranch has a diverse habitat with the lower levels dominated by pion and juniper with sage flats which are a favorite of both elk and deer. As you head up the mountain you see more and more large ponderosa pines and oak motts. The soil is a clay loam with outcroppings of sandstone as you rise. Once on top of the mountain, the southern and southwestern edge of the ranch is a large rim with views of the continental divide north of Pagosa all the way to Chama and on a clear day the mountains above Durango are visible.
WILDLIFE
Elk, mule deer, black bear, turkey, mountain lion and coyote are all present on the property.
AGRICULTURE
Cattle have been placed on the ranch annually.
IMPROVEMENTS
There is a small hunting cabin that has recently been remodeled. A downstairs basement is used for storage but could also be finished out if desired.
WATER
A water well was drilled and completed a few years ago and the log shows it at 25gpm. There are an additional 4 ponds on the ranch that catch rain and snow runoff. There are also multiple wallows the elk have developed.
ELECTRICITY
Power is supplied to the cabin and water well via Northern Rio Arriba Electric.
AREA HISTORY
Trophy Mule Deer: Monarch Ranch is located at ground zero for large mule deer with many large bucks seen on the ranch this past season. You don't have to look far in the record books to know that Rio Arriba County has the most entries in New Mexico for mule deer. Unit 4 where this ranch is located is simple to draw a tag for a private land mule deer. The state also has a special Mule Deer Landowner Incentive Program which if a new owner desires to apply the ranch, it could allow for extended seasons and additional tags with the top tier tag during the rut.
Trophy Elk: The ranch has historically qualified for 4-5 elk tags per season, several of these are either sex tags. During the 2021 season, an 88 Trophy Bull was harvested. While you have a very active rut on the ranch, the late-season hunts in December can be outstanding as the large herds from the high alpine herds migrate down and winter on the ranch.
Other game: The ranch has turkey frequently on the ranch and both bear and lion will come through.

Rio Arriba County - 18236 US 64, Tierra Amarilla, NM
1,570 deeded acres
Excellent all-around recreational ranch with year-round access & varied terrain
12 landowner elk tags & over the counter deer, bear, & turkey tags
Two miles of year-round creeks, three wells, dirt tanks, & springs
Well maintained improvements including an owner's home, hunting lodge, manager's home, & shop
Located 20 minutes from Chama, 1.5 hours from Taos & under two hours from Santa Fe
With year-round access and excellent accommodations, Agua Fria Ranch in the San Juan Mountains of northern New Mexico seems custom-made for big game hunting. Great populations of elk, mule deer, bear, and turkey roam freely among its 1,570 acres, all of which find ideal habitat here. Two live water creeks are exceptional assets for any New Mexico ranch, and Rito de Tierra Amarilla and Agua Fria add up to nearly two miles of flowing water on the property. With three residences and two large outbuildings completing the picture, Agua Fria Ranch is superbly suited as a turnkey hunting and recreational property of the first order.
Conveniently located adjacent to Highway 64 that connects Tierra Amarilla and Taos, New Mexico, Agua Fria Ranch preserves a swath of the San Juans ecosystem from approximately 8,000 to 9,000 feet that includes a mix of aspen groves, gambel oak, grassy meadows, and pine and spruce forests. Exclusive big game hunting has been an emphasis on this ranch for years (it includes five elevated hunting blinds), but it has cross fencing and water sources that would also enable it to support summer cattle grazing. Elk and mule deer hunting are the main draw here, but bear, mountain lion, and turkey can also be found on the ranch. Agua Fria Ranch qualified for 12 landowner elk permits in 2025. Fly fishing is available here, too, for Rito de Tierra Amarilla and Agua Fria are small permanent streams that support wild brook trout in deeper pools.
Agua Fria Ranch is well suited for hosting larger groups of guests, with the 3372-square-foot main residence including five bedrooms and five baths. A large living room with a fireplace invites hours of hunting tales and rich conversations, or move outside and enjoy the firepit on the patio, directly adjacent to a large mountain meadow that is often frequented by herds of elk. The main residence retains the ambience of classic Western architecture, with pine tongue-and-groove ceilings and warm wood accents throughout. A hunting lodge of 1712 square feet has an additional two bedrooms and two baths, and a manager's house has three bedrooms and two baths. With the ability to house 10 to 20 persons, the Agua Fria Ranch is a candidate for a comfortable retreat center as well as a hunting operation or a family compound. A 1520-square-foot heated shop with a workbench allows ample space for OHV and vehicle storage, and a 5050-foot metal shop with a walk-in cooler supports the maintenance of the ranch.
Recreational and cultural opportunities in the vicinity of Agua Fria Ranch include additional recreation in the Carson National Forest and fly fishing on the Chama and Brazos Rivers. Chama is only about 20 miles distant, a terminus of the narrow-gauge Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. Taos is 90 minutes to the east via Highway 64 and is renowned for its rich history as well as its vibrant arts community and downhill skiing. Santa Fe, New Mexico's capital and cultural mecca, lies about 100 miles to the south.
In the estimation of Harrigan Land Company, there are few properties in northern New Mexico that equal the attractions of Agua Fria Ranch. With superb big game hunting, live streams, excellent improvements, and remarkably easy access, Agua Fria Ranch is ready to go as a hunting preserve or private retreat. We'd be delighted to show you what we believe is one of the finest turnkey mountain properties available in the Land of Enchantment.

Rio Arriba County - El Rito, NM
Set amidst the mountain landscapes of northern New Mexico, this 200+/- acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of rich historical and natural beauty. Located 90 minutes from both Santa Fe and Taos, and surrounded by the majestic Carson National Forest, the ranch boasts 1 miles of El Rito Creek frontage, and almost 3 miles of National Forest boundary.
The property features a wealth of wildlife, including a thriving population of elk, mule deer, and black bears, making it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife aficionados alike. Located in GMU 51A, San Gabriel del Rito presents excellent hunting opportunities amidst breathtaking scenery. El Rito Creek boasts a healthy population of Native Rio Grande Cutthroat trout, a rarity in Western Rivers, which are predominantly inhabited by non-native fish.
Originally known as Canjilon Camp, the cabins were originally built by Boston Transplant, Carol Stanley, as an expansion of her popular San Gabriel Ranch. In the 1920s and 30s, it served as a gathering place for Santa Fe's prominent art, literary, and anthropology community. Carol later went on to found Ghost Ranch, paving the way for Georgia OKeefe, Mabel Lujan Dodge, and other significant women in New Mexicos early history.
The property includes the historic grand lodge, three log cabins, and a charming log barn, all dating back to 1920s. These charming and rustic structures would make a highly rewarding restoration project.
Just a short drive from the quaint village of El Rito and the artistic hub of Abiquiu, this property offers both seclusion and proximity to cultural and recreational amenities. San Gabriel del Rito would make an amazing private family retreat, a great adventure camp location, or an exceptional hunting and fishing ranch.

Yellowstone in New Mexico!
This+/-2000 acres of pristine New Mexico high country, located at the top of coveted Rio Arriba County, is approximately 12 miles south of the Colorado border! With 100% draw on private landowner mule deer, monster pronghorns and a dozen rocky mountain landowner elk tags annually, the ranch is complimented by a mile plus of rainbows and brook trout on BOTH sides of the Brazos River Bottoms!
Land
Big Game Unit 4
Upon viewing the +/-1989.57 pristine and breathtaking acres bordering both sides of the Brazos River, one could easily conclude that it should belong in a state or national park! Brazos River Crossing has been in the same family ownership in excess of 20+ years and is NOT encumbered by any conservation easements, bordered exclusively by larger private ranch holdings (no public lands adjoining) and zero public access. The elevation is +/-10,000 ft., topping out at Brazos Peak at 11,400 ft. Vegetationis aspen mixed with stands of blue spruce, complimented by native grass meadows.
Brazos River Crossing has been solely utilized for private recreation, hosting the same long-term hunting clients for over a decade. There's also an active, long-term tenant that seasonally cattle grazes the property which allows for ag tax status and very low taxes.
Ranch access is limited in winter months and would require asnowmobile or tracked vehicles.
Improvements
While the ranch is not representing improvement value, 2 off-grid cabins making up a fully functional hunting camp and are incredible representations of history, one from the 1800's and one from the 1940's. One of the cabins has a new roof and a new floor and is used primarily for storage. Propane gas is driven in.
The camp has a solar system and is wired for a back-up generator. Drinking water is hauled in and water from creek pond is pumped into the house.
Recreation
Fly Fishing and Hunting
In the past, fly fishing guides that have leased the ranch represented that this stretch of the Brazos River offers some of the finest fly fishing water available. Period! There's an additional +/-1 mile of Farley Creek, an incredible brook/trout fishery, the perfect piece of paradise to soak that elk hair caddis with your favorite 2- weight for a wonderful afternoon delight after filling that morning bull elk tag!
The elk breed and birth here, with large herds of resident elk calling the ranch home and the valley literally lit up with bugles starting in mid-August. The ranch has historically received +/-12 annual landowner elk authorizations, 6 mature bull, 3 archery and 3 antlerless (always check regs). Rio Arriba County has been the number one producer of B&C entries for Mule Deer every decade since 1960 and Brazos River Crossing holds some timberline bruisers. The World Record Mundy Buck was harvested within 10 miles. As long as the landowner applies by mid-March, the mule deer tags have been 100% , as have pronghorn antelope tags. Surprisingly, the Brazos River CrossingRanch has historically harvested a few nice antelope bucks annually, mainly with muzzleloader. The hunting experience on Brazos River Crossing Ranch has been such that in over 10 years, the ranch has never advertised hunts and the return clientele almost 100% .
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
The ranch is being conveyed as is, where is (no mineral survey has been conducted) but all solar, mineral (surface & subsurface), timber and wind rights that are owned will convey.

Rare riverfront properties in the west, such as Brazos River Crossing Ranch, are so rare that it's difficult to believe it exists.

These canyons not only serve as natural travel corridors for wildlife but also provide shaded north and east-facing slopes that offer bedding areas, keeping wildlife on the property rather than just passing through.
Elevation ranges from about 7,700 feet at the highest points down to 7,000 feet in the southeast corner, where the canyon floor reaches its lowest point. The combination of diverse topography, food sources, and cover makes Schlabach Ranch a place where wildlife doesn't just visitthey stay.

Recreation
Schlabach Ranch offers exceptional hunting opportunities. Qualifying as a Base ranch in New Mexico's Elk Private Land Use System (EPLUS), the ranch received two unit-wide elk authorizations in 2025: one mature bull and one rifle antlerless. Additionally, over-the-counter licenses are available for mule deer, black bear, lion and turkey. The ranch's diverse terrain, featuring food plots, water sources, and north-facing slopes along ponderosa-filled canyons, create an ideal habitat for wildlife throughout the year.
Beyond hunting, the area surrounding the ranch boasts a variety of recreational activities. Anglers can explore nearby El Vado Lake and Heron Lake, both renowned for excellent fishing opportunities. El Vado Lake, spanning approximately 3,200 acres, is home to species such as rainbow trout, brown trout, and kokanee salmon. The lake permits various water activities, including boating and swimming. Heron Lake, covering about 5,900 acres, is designated as a quiet lake with a no-wake policy, making it ideal for sailing, kayaking, and fishing for record-size trout and kokanee salmon. Both lakes are accessible for ice fishing during the winter months.
For fly fishing enthusiasts, the region offers exceptional river fishing experiences. The Rio Chama, originating in the southern Colorado high country and flowing into New Mexico, is one of the state's most dynamic rivers. Anglers can target brown and rainbow trout in its waters. Notably, there are two tailwater sections: below Abiquiu Lake and El Vado Lake, which provide consistent fishing conditions. The stretch above El Vado is a classic freestone section, offering diverse fishing opportunities.
Another prime location is the Brazos River, particularly the private stretches accessible through local lodges. This river is known for its healthy populations of brown and rainbow trout, with fishing conditions peaking from May through October. The river's clear waters and scenic surroundings make it a favored spot for both novice and seasoned anglers.
The San Juan River, located northwest of the ranch, is celebrated as one of North America's premier trout fisheries. The river boasts an estimated 15,000 fish per mile in the Quality Waters section below Navajo Dam, with many trout ranging from 17 to 22 inches. This bucket-list destination for fly fishing aficionados is only a couple hours drive from the ranch.
For winter sports enthusiasts, several ski areas are within convenient driving distance of the ranch. Wolf Creek Ski Area, located in Colorado, is approximately a two-hour drive north and is known for having the most snow in Colorado. In New Mexico, Ski Santa Fe, Pajarito Mountain, and the world-famous Taos Ski Valley provide diverse skiing and snowboarding experiences, and are all reachable within a few hours' drive. These resorts cater to both beginners and seasoned skiers, ensuring ample opportunities for winter recreation.
Snowmobiling is another popular activity in the region. The nearby town of Chama serves as a gateway to numerous snowmobile trails, particularly around the 10,000-foot-high Cumbres Pass. Additionally, areas like Red River cater to snowmobilers with miles of groomed trails leading up to peaks such as the 11,249-foot Greenie Peak. These well-maintained trails ensure that enthusiasts have access to some of the best snowmobiling opportunities in the Southwest.
Agriculture
The current owner leases his land to the neighboring rancher to run cattle on, which allows him to qualify for agricultural tax status. The fenced and natural canyon boundaries contain the cattle to portions of the ranch away from the dirt tanks and food plots, ensuring that habitat is maximized for wildlife.
Region & Climate
Schlabach Ranch enjoys a mild high-desert climate with summer highs in the 80's and winter lows in the teens to single-digits. The area averages 18 inches of rain and 63 inches of snow a year.
Location
Schlabach Ranch is located in north-central New Mexico, approximately halfway between Abiquiu and Chama, with easy access off U.S. Highway 84. This prime location ensures convenient connectivity to nearby towns and amenities while offering the seclusion and privacy for serious hunters.
For air travel, the nearest major airport is Albuquerque International Sunport, approximately 140 miles south of the ranch, offering numerous daily flights from national and international destinations. Alternatively, Santa Fe Municipal Airport, about 85 miles south, provides regional flights.
The town of Chama provides essential services, including grocery stores, dining, fuel, and lodging. It's also home to the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, a renowned historic train offering scenic rides through the mountains.
