The next morning we got up and headed for our next destination - Cedar Rail RV Park located at the top of Raton Pass which is part of the old Sante Fe Trail. The summit of this pass sits on the New Mexico\Colorado border at an elevation of 7834 feet. We would be driving 214 miles today.
But before we saw any mountains, we traveled through some incredible farming countryside. We saws fields of wheat that seemed to go on forever that were in the process of being harvested...
All of a sudden there was no longer farmland, rather now there were miles and miles of pastures with cows and windmills. Fences were few and far between out here in the middle of nowhere...
Once again the landscape changed. Now we were looking at fields of old volcanoes with lava flows covering much of the ground.
Lava...
Lots of abandoned houses in this area...
And then it was time to drive up Raton Pass. We decided not to unhook the car from the motorhome and just pull the car up the mountain.
First view of our new home for the next week. Still have a ways to go up the mountain. The park is truly at the top of the pass!
Home for the next week - Cedar Rail RV Park.
Site 18. We are at the end so no rig on the left side of us. Wifi worked worked well, good AT&T coverage and excellent satellite TV.
Owners live on site and are great folks who take lots of pride in their park. Would highly recommend this park.
