Enchanted Circle by kala6487
Given that New Mexico is known as the Land of Enchantment, it is only fitting that one take a drive on this scenic route. Starting in Taos and heading northwest, you wind through the Rio Grande valley until you reach Questa. Then, heading East, you climb up into the Sangre De Cristo mountains. On the way you pass the ski town of Red River and several mining sites. Crossing Bobcat pass at 9800 feet, you go down into the huge and beautiful Moreno Valley. After enjoying all that open space, you climb back up into the hills to finish the drive in Taos canyon.Take your time and take pictures, but be careful. The road takes sharp turns and makes steep climbs. Also, the circle itself is not very well marked. Know the route numbers and bring a map.
