| Description |
Scenic highway between Las Vegas and Santa Fe, New Mexico, circa 1915-1930. Caption reads: "A scenic highway has been built up Santa Fe Canyon over Dalton Divide (Alt. 9600 ft.) and down Macho Canyon. It affords a drive of unexcelled scenic beauty, winding among the titans of the Sangre de Cristo Range, through the Pecos National Forest, with switch backs blasted out of the granite mountain, each step revealing new panoramas of snowy peaks, dark canyons and sunlit mesas. It is a wonderful road and when completed will be world famous. Twenty-two miles have been completed out of Santa Fe and nearly as many out of Las Vegas. The maximum grade does not exceed five percent." Postcard number: 79823.
