Back Roads Around Red River

On a couple of days, we took a few rides on back roads that we’d traveled down before.  The scenery never gets old, though!

One of my favorite views is the view from up top looking across to the Taos Ski Resort.  Once upon a time, back in the day, I used to ski, but no more.  Now, I’m more the “sit in the lodge, sipping something tasty, and watching other folks brave the mountain” type!

A bit further down the road, and we could see our campground!  It’s really down in the valley, and you can see 2 different roads running past it.  The lower road is the road that we followed down to see the middle fork of the Red River, and the higher road will take you up over the mountain pass and down again at Eagle Nest, where we’ll be camping later on this trip!

The road we were on took us to the top of Greenie Peak, which is always a great view, but especially this time, with the rain clouds dumping a bit off in the distance!

We always like to see the animals that call this mountain home.  On the left, you can see, in the distance, cattle grazing in the summer meadows, and on the right, a deer that wanted to share the road with us…at least for a minute!!

Enjoy!!
