Yesterday was so much FUN! My brother from Sedona Arizona got a ride up to Taos, New Mexico the day before, so Mike and I drove down there to pick him up.
This is a beautiful drive from where we live, through lots of mountains. On the way there we took the direct route west to Fort Garland, and then south to Taos, but on the way home we drove further south through Red River, Eagle’s Nest and Cimarron New Mexico. Along the way we found some incredible “palisades.”
Thanks for tracing the lineage of Palisades. We just moved into an apartment house called Palisades. I always figured it was named after a neighborhood about 3 miles away that borders the Potomac River. There are wonderful cliffs there cascading down to the river, so I am feeling an even more delightful connected to my new home.
Like these! Is that cool or what?
This is Mike and John enjoying the scenery…

Beautiful pics. Where were you when you shot the pic of the Palisade because I pinned it?

Hi Rebecca! We were between Taos and Raton in northern NM on Highway 64. Beautiful country! So green and lush this time of year!

Did you see any rock climbers?

Not a one, I’m not sure of the quality of this rock. It looked like it was crumbling a bit.

Do you have palisades too?

No I don’t think so. But this inspired me to just get out and explore the area. I forget to take in the beauty of summer.
