Albuquerque to Pagosa Springs - January 19, 2005
From Albuquerque to Pagosa Springs. A route I'd taken before but this
time more of it was in daylight. I-25 -> US 550 -> NM 537 -> US 64 ->
US 84.
Familiar scene in Albuquerque on Wyoming Blvd, just north of Academy.

Sandia Peak with a bit of snow on this side (and probably quite a bit on the other side).
[2048x1536]
Up I-25...
[2048x1536]
To US 550 from Bernalillo.
[2048x1536]
I have lots of pictures from the US 550 ride from previous trips, but it's such a great ride that I had to take more.

Made it to Cuba.

Then across the Continental Divide on US 550.
[2048x1536]
And north on NM 537.
[2048x1536]
Not much on 537, just some stuff like this. Oil?
[2048x1536]
Part way up, there are some great views of the mountains to the north. This turnoff gives the first panoramic view of the mountains of southern Colorado.

And from the road, approaching the northern end of 537.
[2048x1536]
Junction with US 64.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
And then finally the junction with US 84 for the final leg of the trip to Pagosa, just before it got too dark for any more pictures.
