Santa Fe, New Mexico
As we travelled east on Hwy 64 from Kayenta ,Monument Valley' into New Mexico.
We passed through Apache land on our way to Chama, a neat little town where one of the few
remaining narrow guage, steam railways still operating can be found. We continue
east to Taos before turning south to Sante Fe. |
The Capitol Building Santa. Once again the
architects have managed to avoid the 'traditional' capitol design ( an imitation of
Washington).
|
A market place in the centre of Santa Fe. All
the buildings in the town have to be in the traditional adobe style. this makes it an
unique city.
|
The Capitol building turned out to be a veritable
treasure house of works of art, including this statue just outside.

Sedona, Arizona:
(This is the furthest south that the soft Sandstone of the Colorado Plateau extends.)
|
Montezuma Castle, Tuzigoot (Apache
for crooked water)
Mistakenly named after the Aztec ruler by early explorers. Indian tribes often used
the cliff caves as dwelling places or for grain storage. All other evidence of these and
other Indian tribes in the area vanished for no historically recorded reason around
1400AD, probably because several years of droughts led to starvation. |
