While the Land of Enchantment is home to many beautiful landscapes, it can be hard to pick the best way to peep the fall foliage as we roll into autumn. This scenic byway isn’t just the best place to see the trees change colors, it’s also an amazing way to experience some of New Mexico’s most beautiful towns and attractions. From old ancient pueblos, to Spanish villages, and a low road along the Rio Grande, this relaxing winding road is the best way to watch the leaves change colors, and see our deserts, mountains, and everything in between from a road up high.
