A Trestle that is part of Cloudcroft History
The drive to Cloudcroft, New Mexico from Alamogordo is one of the best drives in the entire state. Winding up a canyon through tiny villages, the final sight to see before Cloudcroft is the Mexican Canyon Trestle, a bridge built in 1899. There is a pull out to stop and observe this old wooden structure from a time when this area had a very different life. I finally happened to pass it by at sunset time, and with my new Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master lens, that ultra wide 12mm focal length was just enough to get most of the trestle and the sunset in the shot. There are many reasons why Cloudcroft is one of my favorite places in New Mexico, and the Mexican Canyon Trestle is one of them. For more info, check out the Wikipedia page for this trestle.
