New Mexico's Golden Autumn
Good Morning, and Happy October!
Four years ago this week I was driving the backroads of New Mexico, doing the research for my book, Arizona and New Mexico: 25 Scenic Side Trips. As it happens, mid-October is a fabulous time to travel in that part of the world, and I've got the pictures to prove it!

When it comes to Autumn in New Mexico, it's not the quantity, it's the quality!

All of these locations, and a lot of these same photos are featured in the book, along with maps and everything else you need to plan a "New Mexico Autumn Extravaganza" of your own!
If you like the photos, and you'd like to see more, I just put up a new post on my blog with this exact same theme:
