That is Taos, New Mexico at the base of the mountains.
That is snow (in July) on those peaks

Souvenir Socks
Marie and I hiked the Taos Valley Overlook Trail. At the edge of the Rio Grande Gorge, we met some cyclists who were taking a break. Two were originally from Texas (Marfa and Houston) and one from Massachusetts. One of the cyclists wore socks with the Zia symbol. Ooh, aah. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could find a pair of socks just like that for souvenirs!
Souvenir Socks
Marie checked around on the Internet and found them at the Gearing Up bike shop in Taos. We nipped right on over and I got two pair of souvenir socks. (The dog hair was added after I got home. Nothing in my house is free of dog hair for very long.)

Texas State Line
I live in central Texas and my driving trips don’t take me any farther than somewhere else in Texas where I can get there and home in one day. Driving home from Santa Fe, New Mexico, however, I saw this sign.

When In The Southwest
The southwestern theme is strong in Santa Fe. This was the shower curtain in my hotel room.

This is the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge in northern New Mexico. I was there early on a Sunday morning (about 5:30 a.m.) to wait for sunrise. On the high desert it is cool in the mornings, in the low 50s. I could hear the rush of the river below as I stood alone on the edge of the gorge. It was just me, the river, and the beautiful clouds at dawn.
