A drive through the Jemez(lots of pics)

[Richie]

A few weeks ago the wife and I went for a drive through the Jemez mountains in central NM about 45 minutes northwest from Albuquerque. We ended up in the Tent Rocks national monument.
The Sandia mountains just to the east of Albuquerque.

Nice drive, love State Route 4. The San Antonio Springs road FR 376 should be opening up today, so that is good.

I absolutely love that area! I haven't been there in about 7 or 8 years now. Much too long if you ask me. I need to revisit soon. Thanks for the great pics!
