| Colorado, New Mexico: Rare, clear, snow-dusted views southward down the northern Rio Grande rift of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. The San Luis valley is in the mid-ground, with the shield volcano of Mt. San Antonio centered in the valley. In the structural embayment in the Sangre de Cristo range Taos and from there, the long southwest-trending Embudo transfer fault zone can be seen cutting across the rift valley. Valle Grande caldera of the Jemez Mts. and the rift fault bounding the Nacimiento range are also sharply defined. |
