Emory Pass Vista Route 152, Sierra County, New Mexico Route 152 is an amazing, winding road that is the most scenic way of traveling from Caballo/I-25 to Silver City, New Mexico #EmoryPass #EmoryPassNM #EmoryPassVista #SierraCountyNM #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment (at Emory Pass in Gila National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRLWckgMbj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some photos along Route 152 from Santa Clara, NM (where you leave route 180 traveling from Silver City) to Caballo, NM and I-25. The first 2 photos are of this interesting, large rock poking up from around all the green foliage. The next 2 are views of the mountains from breaks in the foliage. The remaining photos show some interesting roadside cliffs and how the ecosystem’s change as you reach lower elevations. #Route152 #NM152 #EmoryPass #SouthWesternNewMexico #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7DArulJND/?igshid=1r057dar8ishy

This is the view eastward from The Emory Pass Overlook in the Gilla National Forest. You can see where the green of higher elevations meets the desert of lower elevations in the distance. #EmoryPassOverlook #EmoryPass #GillaNationalForest #NewMexicoFlora #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment #PhotoByJeriRae https://www.instagram.com/p/B5elOvaA1iw/?igshid=u1w6b4mel6cz
