Greetings From
New Mexico
Postcard
|
New Mexico’s
ribbon of the
Mother Road provides the
Route 66
traveler with a variety of landscapes, from beautiful mountain
ranges, to sandstone mesas, desert sagebrush, ponderosa pines and
ghost towns. Along the vintage pavement in the
Land of Enchantment, you will also
see ancient
pueblo cities,
both open and abandoned motels, lots of neon signs, and an
eclectic mix of ancient and contemporary cultures. Dating back
thousands of years, you are sure to enjoy
New Mexico’s rich history,
beginning with the
Native
Americans, continuing through the
Wild
West
days, into the era of the
Mother Road, and beyond.
There are two alignments through
New Mexico, as,
in 1937, it was shortened and straightened out, reducing the mileage from
506 to 399 miles.
Enjoy your journey through the
Land of Enchantment. |
