We headed up to northeast New Mexico and stayed at Clayton Lake state park. This park has one of the best dinosaur trackways in the southwest. |

There was a jumble of tracks, of different types of dinosaurs. Some were easier to identify, while others could easily be confused as just a depression in the stone. |

This is a very good track of a predator that had three toes. |

We went into the town of Clayton, an old railroad and ranching community. The old Eklund Hotel had fallen on hard times, but the town banded together, renovated it, and now it has a busy restuarant, saloon and hotel rooms. |

Then we headed west along the Cimarron scenic byway, stopping in the old historic town of Cimarron, and then spending a night at Cimarron Canyon state park. It was a really pretty drive that worked it's way up to Bobcat Pass, nearly 10,000' elevation. |

We followed the Enchanted Circle scenic byway around through the mountains and into Taos. In Taos we found some good looking gates and adobe walls for our idea scrapbook. |
