The road to Van Horn

As you leave the Guadalupes and drive south towards Van Horn you pass through this great valley.

To your east is the Delaware Mountains. To your west is the Sierra Diablo. Behind you to the north is the great prow of the Guadalupes.

As I was driving to Van Horn and breakfast at Chuy's I saw some mules and a few horses near the road. I stopped to see if I could get a picture of them with the Sierra Diablo. Well when I stopped they came over toward the fence and I was able to get an image with the Guadalupes and the Patterson Hills behind them.

As you can see this is dry desert country, but wow what a view. It's almost like being on the set of a John Ford movie.
