We turned off of I-40 unto NM 550 and headed north. NM 550 is a very nice four-lane highway. We ran into a very short stretch of construction, then the rest of the way was smooth sailing. The first part of the drive was through fairly flat sagebrush and junipers.
This set of rocks were the only ones we saw that had black tops. Perhaps volcanic ash?
Most of the mesas had reds, pinks, yellow, whites and some greenish layers --




This one stood by its majestic lonesome --
While these followed us alongside the road --
The greenery is mostly small junipers with sagebrush along the lower edges --
As you can tell by the pictures, there were lots of clouds and stormy weather along the way. We were lucky that we didn't have the kind of winds that we had yesterday. We arrived in Bloomfield a little after four PM and settled in at Desert Rose RV Resort.
