This video shows some highlights from Amy and my October 2023 road trip to northern New Mexico and southwest Colorado. I’ve visited the Southwest a lot (around 36 backpacking trips and at least 8 road trips). Love all the area and this trip we were mainly in New Mexico which justifiably brags about their scenery and food. The high desert and mountain vistas are wonderful with the special light that enhances everything. And I’ve loved their New Mexican food ever since the Mexicali Rose Restaurant featured such in Knoxville for some time. We flew to Albuquerque and stayed in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Española.. So much to see, including lots of historic sites from the Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi) civilizations in places like Chaco Canyon, Puye Cliffs, Azec Ruins, Bandelier, and more. And natural features like the Sandia Mountains overlooking Albuquerque. Lots of petroglyphs carved into the rock everywhere. The modern art was outstanding and included a special exhibition of Georgia O’Keefe’s works at the Albuquerque Art Museum and seeing Ghost Ranch where O’Keefe lived and painted. And the fall colors were great, brilliant yellow cottonwood trees in the lower elevations and aspen trees higher up.
See these two links for lots of photographs of the first part of our New Mexico/Colorado trip as shown in this video:
