Santa Fe here we are! This is a very beautiful city. Founded in 1610. Known for its Pueblo-style architecture and wealth of artists. There is so much to see and do and we only have a few days. Not near the time we need.
Tim and I found it difficult to leave Silverton this morning but it was time. We could have stayed there forever! However with winter upon us we had to depart.
And just like that we departed with rain, sleet and a few snow flakes. The goal was to get this rig over both passes, Molas Pass at 10,912’ and Coal Bank Pass at 10,640’, safely and down into Durango before conditions worsened. All went very well and we were in Santa Fe, New Mexico in less than five hours.
The drive was just spectacular. Mountains. Forrest. Small towns. Beautiful valleys. Meadows. Desert. And areas that looked like we were right back in Utah. We decided to take this longer route through scenic byways and national forests for the scenery. We continue to be in awe of this amazing land we live in.
Jett is even super happy to be here. Sort of! There is a half acre dog park and she found a favorite ball there to play with. BUT there is no grass. The only grass here in this RV park does not allow dogs on it. She will need to learn to deal with that. Our next location will have even less.
Elevation - 6,630’
Temperature - 80* (on arrival)
