HIGHWAY OF LEGENDS - COLORADO

Au Revoir to Albuquerque and retraced our steps to Eagle Nest then back into Colorado stopping at Trinidad Lake State Park. We then we spent a wonderful day driving Highway 12 - the Highway of Legends, an 82 mile one way leisurely trip, we marveled at stunning geological formations, crystal lakes, awesome vistas and historic settlements. I went in to overdrive with the camera!
