Grants, New Mexico is a Route 66 town with a cool drive thru
New Mexico has several historic old Route 66 towns, that can now be more easily accessed by traveling on I-40 and exiting. Somewhere between Albuquerque and Gallup resides the town of Grants, which has a cool Route 66 shaped sign you can actually drive your car through and take a photo with. In this tour of Grants drone video, you can see to the east that the town borders lava fields and has views of snow capped mountains to the north. Have you ever been to Grants, New Mexico?
I had the chance to go west for a rural land property shoot in Grants, New Mexico this week. I most often go north or east of Albuquerque. This was a completely new area for me. This property was not that far from the city of Grants itself, but it rested high up in the shadows of a black mesa over looking an interstate, train tracks and an airport! I also usually only shoot very flat land properties, where this one was nearly completely rolling foothills allowing for more creative sunset landscape composition.
