Day 1: From the road, part 2

As we drove into the sunset, we got to experience a trip filled with twists and turns, highs and lows. The road between Artesia and Alamogordo, NM hosts a beautiful view of mountains, valleys, canyons, and pines as well as a climb from 3500 ft to 8700 ft in ~80 miles and a drop from 8700 ft to 4500 ft in a very short and winding 15 miles. At the bottom of the roller coaster through southern New Mexico, we arrived at our stop for the night, the Super 8 in Alamogordo. It was an inexpensive and comfortable night’s sleep to prepare us for Day 2.
