In the mountains nearby are numerous canyons and valleys.  One of our favorite fall trips is to 4th of July Canyon.  It’s named for its spectacular foliage.

Below is the Rio Grande Valley north of Albuquerque at San Felipe Pueblo.  Because the altitude is less than that of 4th of July Canyon, we’ve not yet reached the same level of glorious color.
