jemez trail national scenic byway印象

I loved, loved, loved this scenic by-way. So beautiful and so much to see. The Soda Dam, Jemez Historical Site... so much. I cannot recommend this byway too highly.

First off I have to agree with another reviewer regarding watching your speed. The road almost smells of possible speed traps bringing in much needed income. That said, just do a bit below the posted limit. Anytime I am on this road and see another in my mirror I pull over and let em go. I simply WILL NOT be rushed on this drive. I even had nuts passing me in a hail storm going downhill at that windy section N of Battleship Rock.It is without doubt one of the most beautiful drives west of the Sandias and I have driven most of the roads. The fact that some of my most viewed and faved photos on Flickr are from this hgy says it all I guess.It's going to be interesting to see what takes place with this talk about rerouting it around Jemez Pueblo. I can see the pueblos reasons but it may end up biting them in the rear as far as retail sales go.

All of the pueblos we wanted to see were either closed or too far away. We looked in our Dummies book and found this as an alternative. We had a wonderful, low key day. It was a short drive from Albuquerque. We visited the Coronado State Monument and were lucky enough to see a lecture about how all of the parts of plants were used by local Native Americans. We drove through the Zia Pueblo. Then we continued on to Walwatowa Visitor Center. The scenery was breath-taking...lots of red rocks like Sedona. We also went to Jemez Springs and saw the remains of an old Spanish church and learned about the Spanish takeover of the area. We had a nice lunch in a local very friendly restaurant. It was the best day of our vacation and the souvenir shopping was also good.

This is a great drive with many great stops, so relax, slow down and enjoy. We drove between White Rock and Jemez Springs. There are many places to stop and visit so best to plan a whole day.

Take your time driving around in this area. There are loads of photo opportunities, including the meadow where there used to be a mountain, before the volcano blew thousands of years ago! We saw elk at sunset. Magical.

We did this scenic drive from Los Alamos down through Bandelier and San Ysidro on our way to Albuquerque. If you are in the area, definitely take the time! Beautiful scenery with several points of interest to stop and explore. We didn't have a lot of time, so we visited the Valles Caldera, Soda Dam, passed Battleship Rock and took a brief detour to see the Gilman Tunnels.

We drove this byway from San Ysidro to White Rock and found it to be one of the best drives we have taken while in this part of New Mexico. The fall colors in the southern section were especially beautiful when viewed against the red rocks in the canyon leading up to La Cueva. We didn't encounter much traffic behind us to make us feel pushed, as some have commented, but that may be due to it being off season. The short hike down to Jemez Falls was nice, passing through a forest of Ponderosa Pine along the way.

Love the Jemez Mountains. This is a great day trip if you are visiting the area. Beautiful scenery, great photo ops. Don't forget to visit Pajarito Mountain, the sleepy amazing ski hill in the Jemez Mountains. Have lunch at the cafe.

If you find time to do nothing else in New Mexico, you have to do this road trip. From Santa Fe it is a full day trip, especially if you keep stopping to take pictures like I do!The first part of the trip from Santa Fe to Los Alamos is ok, nothing spectacular, but OK. After Los Alamos it just keeps getting better. Stunning rock formations, wonderful vistas, winding roads, rivers, lush vegetation .....The Caldera at Valles is amazing, the scenery and Jemez Springs is jaw dropping. Look out for little side roads and explore, we did and saw some scenery that most people miss. Road tunnels cut through the mountains, stunning colors on the rocks ..... Well worth the effort. A trip that should to be missed......

This is a very attractive drive through glorious scenery, with abundant things for the outdoors-oriented traveler to do along the way. I've done it literally hundreds of times, and I never get tired of its beauty. However, you need to remain on the alert when driving this route, because there are several hazards that can rise up and bite the unwary motorist. Weather is an obvious one; it's largely in high country and significant snow can happen early in fall and well into spring. Another is the presence of both wildlife and bad drivers along the road. A particularly aggravating "hazard" is the presence of frequent radar traps, exacerbated by the fact that there are multiple jurisdictions and frequent, erratic changes in speed limits, particularly in the western half of the route. The usual caution "stay within the speed limit and you won't have a problem" doesn't apply here, alas, because the fact is that many drivers do exceed the speed limit, sometimes severely. Staying within the speed limit, while generally wise, creates not merely frustrations but outright road hazards when the speed demons go screaming past you. (Do it anyway.) All of this said, I still recommend this route strongly; just be careful when you're driving it.
