A Trip from Trinidad, Col., Through New Mexico to Paso-del-Norte,
Mexico.
(partial)
From Lamy southward again along the valley of the Galisteo, between the rich,
thriving mining districts of Los Cerrillos and New Placer, along at the very foot
of the "Devil's Throne", (one of the Los Cerrillos mountains) with a fair view of
the not very distant New Placer mountains, and emerging upon the broad valley of
the Rio Grande at the quaint Indian Pueblo of Santo Domingo we dash along past
well cultivated fields and orchards and past the ancient ruined Pueblo of Cia,
situated on the top of the high bluff across the river; past the picturesque
pueblo of San Felipe, with the river at its very feet and a high bluff immediately
back of it. And here is Albuquerque, with its brand new railroad town, and queer
"old town", its broad valley and fine view of the distant Sandia mountains.
