8/8-9/2009 - Santa Fe Region

For a late summer vacation, Sharon and I spent a little over a week in the Santa Fe, NM (visiting Sharon's mom) and Telluride, CO regions. Below are some pics of the Santa Fe part of the trip.

A view looking south along US 84 toward famous sandstone cliffs of Ghost Ranch. Various Ghost Ranch sites are portrayed in Georgia O'Keeffe paintings.
