Welcome to New Mexico, welcome to “the Land of Enchantment.” Travel on some of the most beautiful roads from Colorado all the way through New Mexico to Texas with me and visit majestic mountain tops, the artistic town Taos, and one of the most famous churches of the area.
The ride took me from Durango through parts of the San Juan National forest to Pagosa Springs and to New Mexico. Here are the best roads to ride and places to visit in Northern New Mexico:
00:00 Drive over Colorado's beautiful roads to New Mexico
03:16 From Chama follow Highway 64 to Tierra Amarilla and from there to Tres Piedras, it is one of the most beautiful rides of New Mexico.
03:59 US 64 climbs the back side of the monumental Brazos Cliff , entering into the timberland of the Carson National Forest. Be on the lookout because of the large Elk population as the road winds toward the Tusas Mountain - and make sure to bring enough time to enjoy the amazing views.
05:34 At Tres Piedras, the highway drops into sagebrush mesa before crossing the Río Grande Gorge Bridge-565 feet or 172 meters above the river.
06:22 Visit the Sangre de Cristo Mountains - which is Spanish for "Blood of Christ" are the southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains. They are located in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico
07:11 Stay a night in Taos and explore the galleries and arts of the vibrant little town. The best place to stay: Casa Benavides B&B
10:10 Visit Taos Pueblo a UNESCO World Heritage
11:06 To see some other stunning architecture of the area check out San Francisco de Asís Mission Church on the main plaza of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. It was built between 1772 and 1816, replaced an earlier church in that location, and is the only original church which remains intact in the Taos area.
13:40 Drive the „The Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway“ all the way to Eagle Nest Lake State Park
