New Mexico - Chihuahuan Desert - W. of Playas
Chihuahuan Desert west of Playas
All photos were taken westbound and progress in that direction.

Starting the way the last page ended, looking south.

Looking north and west.

Looking south and west.

Looking north and south.

Into Animas, one of the only towns along the way. (Columbus, well to the east, is tthe only larger one.)

Piecemeal panorama from southwest to northwest.

Meanwhile, to the south.

More western and northern photos.

Over the rise of the Peloncillo Mountains, and that's Arizona in the distance, represented by the much taller Chiricahua Mountains.

Last look to the north at the foothills of the Peloncillos (which are barely hills themselves at the State Road 9 pass).

Last look to the west before State Road 9 ends, and the first look from State Road 80 as I turn south. (It heads west once more in Arizona.)

The Peloncillo Mountains rise again to the southeast.

The Chiricahua Mountains just before the Arizona border.
