Santa Fe to Colorado Springs

Today we left Santa Fe NM. for Colorado Springs by way of Questa NM. elev. 6200 ft because of fires along I25.We took back roads to Questa, this was our first real mountain driving. Downgrades of 6% for about 4 miles and then also 6% climbs. Traveled along the Rio Grande river & gorge. You could look down and see white water rafting trips in action. The campground is in a valley with a beautiful mountain view. Tomorrow on to Colorado Springs.
