Beautiful day and we decided to drive back for a visit in the Chama area. Went out of El Vado Lake State Park where we hosted last summer. The state had announced plans to renovate the campground and upgrade the sites which was most needed. All we saw, however, were large gates at the entry stating the park was closed from Oct. 2011 to May 2012. Guess they spent all their money on gates.
Conejas Creek. There is a USFS campground here.
Conejas Valley with Conejas Creek at the bottom.
The top of Cumbres Pass is 10,022 feet.
The Cumbres and Toltex narrow gauge train was coming out of Chama as we were driving back into New Mexico from Colorado.
The Brazos Cliffs. The restaurant that we enjoyed at the foot of this cliffs, Cliffview, was not opened. It has been sold and the new manager plans to open in about 2 weeks. To bad because I was really looking forward to one of their roast turkey in a dried tomato tortilla wrap sandwichs.
Cattle are moved from the lower elevation up to high country once the snow melts. Cattle drive the old fashion way.
