New Mexico - US 550/Jemez Mtns. scenery

US 550 scenery (Jemez Mountains)



Looking north and east at Coronado State Monument outside Bernalillo.


Looking north at the Jemez River Canyon.


Westward views; US 550 is a north-south road but heads slightly more west than north for a few miles after it begins.


Panning across the north from west to east, with some familiar views popping in.


The least colorful photo I could take facing west.


Then this happens, and it is the prettiest thing I have ever seen. It's nature's own sand art, and you can't ruin it by shaking the bottle.


Looking northeast on the right side of US 550, which is also beautiful, but it's like looking from a supermodel back to a model and thinking, "Wow, she's ordinary, isn't she."
