Mileage before leaving Albuquerque:
New Mexico bills itself as "The Land of Enchantment" and I have to say it was an enchanting place. The drive across the state was beautiful and as you'll see later, the food was fantastic. Good food and good views are all I need.
Clint and I hiked up a small mountain in Rinconada Canyon, located just outside Albuquerque. It was a beautiful area, as the city can be seen off in the distance. The canyon is special for it's large amount of Native American drawings on the rocks.
I think this car kind of speaks for itself. She must have been carrying something important because she was movin'.
The plan was to stop in Gallup, NM for lunch and as suggested by ratings online, we found ourselves at Jerry's Cafe on Route 66. The good ratings proved true and we weren't disappointed. Stopping in Gallup also set up a unique situation as Clint and I were the online white people in the restaurant. The cafe seemed to be a local favorite for Native Americans.
I had the chicken taquitos covered in green chilli. The green chilli was really a nice addition to the food and from what I gathered is a New Mexico thing. Great meal!
Probably the coolest state sign I've seen.
