Traveled today from Amarillo, TX to Raton, NM. Very nice drive through high elevation rolling hills. Most of the drive between 4500 and 6500 feet in elevation with Raton at 6650 feet.
Near Clayton, New Mexico is one of the best Dinosaur track sites in the world. More than 500 fossilized footprints are visible in the spillway at Lake Clayton State Park. These tracks were embedded in the mud over 100 million years ago when most of New Mexico was under water.
Camped at the Raton KOA. Very long site in a dusty gravel parking lot with no swimming pool.
