Homeward Bound Raton Pass - Colorado Road Trip 2016


 Southbound on Raton Pass. The mesa's the bear crossings, I love it here!


Welcome to New Mexico!


The ancient volcanoes are amazing! I could stare at them all day picturing eruptions from 60,000 years ago forming this landscape,
 and dinosaurs roaming about. 



What a stunning view!


Trinidad - Colorado Road Trip 2016



There is this nice rest stop between Colorado Springs and Trinidad, CO. The views and the history billboards makes it interesting.





We are just North of Trinidad heading South. This mesa looks stunning at sunset. We have camped at the Trinidad State Park a few times when passing through, and the view of this mesa when the sun goes down is beautiful! Today it was mid morning starting to get muggy and hot outside. But still what a beauty!




 Welcome to Trinidad, CO!





End of Colorado Road Trip 2016


Seen another Vintage hotel sign I couldn't resist sharing!


Good-bye Snowcapped Mountains.




Not sure if this is an old drive in, or gas station, but I loved it!






 Heading South towards Trinidad, Colorado.






A tiny gallery, but what a great idea for one of these old buildings out here!


The next few photographs are for your enjoyment. Just look at the view, the beauty of this great earth is something to be appreciated. I wish more people appreciated and took care of it as much as I do.






















I can picture an old rancher settling here with his family hoping to strike gold or prospering off of the miners  passing through. 





This is one of my favorites as we pass by.. only one building standing. But what  character and history this building probably has. I would love to know more about it! I wish it was a place to stop and have a bite to eat as it is so unique and really draws me in!









The beautiful mesa's just south of Trinidad, Colorado.






 One day, I am going to take a train ride around the mountain.
