  • The overlook is on NM-502, just a few miles east of Los Alamos. Since it is a pull-off on the highway, this doesn't require taking any detours and you can judge for yourself if you want to stop here.....  more

  • After you've admired the view, turn around and look at the cliff face behind you. There's a very steep road cut into the cliff. That's the original highway, which was much more treacherous!

  • Drive to this scenic overlook via a winding curvy road. The drive itself is very scenic constructed over the cliff. An hour or so from Santa Fe. Can have your time as people dont visit this location much. Must visit and underrated. Take a stop enjoy the enchanted New Mexico. Loved it!!
  • Amazing road, with an amazing overlook. Some of the best views in the country.
