Image Caption: wide view down Rio grande to Albuquerque

One of a stereopair of the Taos Plateau, New Mexico. Snow enhances structural details. Of particular note is Cerro de la Oja, a large round dome west of the irregularly-shaped 600'+ high obsidian flow at the west edge of the Rio Grande Gorge (first stop along the northern part of the gorge on the astronaut geological training trip). The Cerro appears to have NNE-trending faults cutting across it. In the many years that I have been working in that region I have never been aware that it might be faulted!
