Rio Grande Gorge Bridge At 650 feet above the river, the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge is the second highest bridge on the U.S. Highway System and the fifth highest bridge in the United States. The bridge is on US 64, about 12 miles west of Taos, New Mexico. When you walk across, be sure and look for the wrecked Jeep Renegade below the northeast side of the bridge. Apparently, someone did a 'Thelma and Louise' into the gorge.
Carex chalciolepis - Holm sedge Holm sedge growing in the summit area of Wheeler Peak, Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos County, New Mexico. The terminal spikelet is primarily female (any male flower restricted to the base of the terminal spikelet). All spikelets below are with female flowers. The dark pistillate bracts are conspicuously longer than the perigynia, and the perigynia are papillose especially towards the beak. This sedge species was most conspicuous along the alpine ridgelines in this area.
