ā¢ Farmington LDS Temple's first anniversary (tricityrecordnm.com) ā Farmington-area Latter-day Saints are marking one year since their own LDS temple opened, making weekly worship and volunteer service far more accessible than long drives to Albuquerque or Arizona.

ā¢ Exploring Bisti Badlands Alone at Night (fstoppers.com) ā A visiting night photographer used Farmington as home base while exploring Bisti Badlands alone after dark, relying on offline GPS maps, extra water, and some trial-and-error navigation. Their three-night adventure included encounters with other photographers, a Navajo guide leading Nightscaper Conference attendees, and lessons on safely finding the way back to Farmington after late-night shoots.
