Pagosa Springs - Vacation 2005
On to Pagosa Springs. This is how the road looks as we came into town. (The hill is only slightly exaggerated.) http://www.cs.unca.edu/~boyd/touring/tour04/gimp1/comingintopsdur.jpg
At Pagosa Spr, we took US 84 S. I don’t know when the road was laid out but it’s a 65 mph road with a few 45 mph curves rather than a 75 mph road. The cliffs around Abiquiu, NM look like:

As we came down from a pass toward the Chama river, there is a totally unexpected landscape feature – a huge body of water in the middle of totally dry country, the Abiquiu reservoir.
