This part of New mexico is going fast

Petroglyths are found all over the US and the world.  The images are carved into the stone from   400 to 700 years ago.  This area of New Mexico has one of the largest examples in North America.

On the way to Mesita. Elevation 5669' and means not much climbing today.

Some sections are very picturesque.

The Mesita church is just like you would imagine.

The view of the last few hours.

The map shows the elevation change on either side of the road.
