Nature Friday - The Rio Grande Gorge


 
  Have the temperatures started cooling off where you are? We are still having toasty temps here in the New Mexico High Desert, but "they" say cooler days are coming soon! 
 
Anyway, I was going through Mama's pictures, when I came across these pictures from when she and Daddy took a drive to the Rio Grand Gorge. I thought they would be pawfect to share with you today!
 
 
The Rio Grande Gorge is just North of Taos, New Mexico. It is known for it's beautiful views and it's cool bridge!

 
 Wow...just look how far down it goes. 
Kinda like a mini Grand Canyon, don't you think?!
 
 
 That's the Rio Grande down there huh??
 
 
 
 The humungous gorge sure does makes the Rio Grande look itty bitty!! I do have to agree with the sign in the first picture though, the views are spectacular!


 ...and that's just the Gorge, let's take a look at the bridge!

 
 Wow!! It's so long...and look at all that steel!!
 

 ...and the views behind it are breath taking!
 
 
This is a picture Mama took of the Rio Grande about 30 miles west of the Gorge. It reminds me of the rivers we used to drive along in Northy North California. Twisty turny roads with rivers on one side of the road

....and on the other side of the road....
 
Great big mountains!!

 
I hope you enjoyed my little tour of the Rio Grande Gorge!
Here's hoping for nice weather and lots of Nature walkies with Daddy this weekend!

  8. What a beautiful place the Rio Grande gorge is. Thanks for taking us along to see it. It's been cooler here, but we are supposed to get summer temps again in a few days. We're still not as hot as you are though.

  11. What a beautiful spot. Maybe we will end up there one day to have a look ourselves. We may head to AZ this winter for a nose work trial which means going through New Mexico, but we won't know until some time in January if Olivia gets into the trial.

  12. Great reporting, Rosy. Lucy says she's proud of you, too. We have big hills and mountains and rivers around here too, but they look different than those. XOX Xena
