Almost out of Farmington we saw a sign for the Salmon Ruins so we popped in.
We pulled over because there was a toilet and saw a big bridge. Only half way across when lots of people were taking photos did we realise is was going over the Rio Grande.
The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, locally known as the "Gorge Bridge" or the "High Bridge", is a steel deck arch bridge across the Rio Grande Gorge 10 miles northwest of Taos, New Mexico, United States. Roughly 600 feet above the Rio Grande, it is the seventh highest bridge in the United States.
Driving through the mountain switchbacks we noticed an all-too-realistic person hanging from someone’s porch arch with a board saying; “I still do it the old-fashioned way.” We didn’t stop to ask what the old-fashioned way was.
Coffee stop but it was five to three and they were closing. Who closes at 3pm? Either way they let us buy a coffee and drink it outside.
Into Taos and we got some bookmarks from the library thanks to Damian.
Hotel.
