If you go up Highway 84 from Chama (NM) to Pagosa Springs (CO), you’ll go past land features that are classically New Mexican — such as this rock formation. Barely five minutes later, you’ll cross the state line into Colorado and find yourself surrounded by rocky mountain peaks — classic Colorado scenery. I was up there this past week and the scrub oak was just blazing, especially on the New Mexico side of the border. I’ve seldom seen it this colorful.
