Indian Country 2004 - Photo Trip Diary


In November, 2003, I traveled and photographed along some of the roads found on the colorful "Indian Country" map, published by the Automobile Club of America. The route made a rough circle, starting and ending in Albuquerque; in between our photo group visited the Acoma pueblo, Canyon de Chelly, Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, and the Jemez pueblo. We'll do it next year, too - contact me for details.

Escape from Acoma!
Acoma, the Sky City, is a pueblo perched atop a red rock mesa. Our group took the mandatory bus up, but most of us decided to make the optional hike (climb?) down the narrow defile that led back to our vehicles.
