Most people think desert, sand, geology, space aliens and Area 51 when they think of New Mexico. Speeding along deserted highways watching an endless sky out the window, I think of the state’s motto, the Land of Enchantment, for truly, every turn in the road brings more delight than you can imagine. This beautiful fall tree sitting in the foothills around the Bosque del Apache wildlife reserve is a singular sentinel welcoming you to one of the most interesting New Mexico treasures, among so many.
