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. [2048x1536]

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. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

Made it to Cuba. [2048x1536]

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. [2048x1536]

Exciting rental car.. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

At the next turnout. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]

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. [2048x1536]
