Stayed in both Las Vegas and Raton, New Mexico. Loved the drive on highway 25 between the two towns. The drive from Raton towards Taos on highway 64 has to be one of my favorite drives. It is a two lane highway, with a shoulder you can pull over on. Just saw a few other cars on the road, so I could drive 35-40 mph and enjoy the drive without slowing anyone down.
I would often see just the heads of elk as they rested in the grassland.
This bison herd was larger than any I would later see in Yellowstone. The calf was the only one who showed any interest in Jake and I.
