    Lovely country with a surprise town. Unexpectedly drove thru a Bavarian-themed town. So weird after all the adobe style buildings. A must is the Tais Pueblo. The second time there I enjoyed a tour...

    Nice drive and scenery. The small towns offered limited options for meals, and many were closed even when their online presence said they'd be open. Should be good for fall color if timed right...
