Pueblo West, CO to Santa Fe, NM

Today we travelled from Pueblo West, CO to Santa Fe, NM. We only spent one night at the Pueblo West Campground and Horse Arena (same place we stayed last year on our way home.) Our friends Charlie and Dawn were both working so did not get a chance to visit. Today was pretty much an uphill trip all the way; elevation at Pueblo West, Co is 4750 ft. then climbing through the Raton Pass at 7834 ft. then downhill to Santa Fe, NM at 7260 ft. A beautiful drive through the pass as it follows the old Santé Fe Trail. Very interesting area, the pass is designated as a National Historic Landmark read the history and other facts here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raton_Pass
