While the big river is the namesake of the newly minted Rio
Grande del Norte National Monument and certainly its crown jewel, it’s the Taos
Plateau that beckons me. The plateau, a
swatch of arid scrub that stretches west 25 miles to San Antonio Mountain, is a
flat desert punctuated by the occasional hillock and the faintest remnants of
human occupation. Two picturesque
corrals and a couple of homesteads adorn TP 71 between the Rio Grande and
Highway 285 and more are bound to be discovered as I return to those dry
environs.
There’s nothing like the flats to showcase the snow capped
Sangre de Cristos looming to the east and to accent the epic sky that I love so. Prompted by that sky I entered
the Taos Plateau from the south on Gravel Pit Road and followed
high lines to a batch of hippy built residences where a taut and sinewy cyclist
was popping a wheelie.
Later above the John Dunn Bridge I followed a rutted path
almost to the rim of the gorge to behold the epic show.

This trip reflects much more effective atmospheric conditions than were the case during our recent visit. I absolutely love the cyclist popping wheelies! Your images relate a cool day, crisp air, and the magic that makes the plateau a jewel.
