The drive between Pagosa Springs and Chama is one of our favorites. Beautiful scenes.
Even though we did get hit from behind by a speeding pickup on one trip--just as we had crossed into New Mexico. We were doing about 60 mph, there was no other traffic, perfectly clear and beautiful day. Suddenly, I saw the rear view mirror filled with pickup passing, but not over enough, lifted us off the ground. I was able to recover by skillful steering (We were in a Buick Park Avenune, not an RV.)
Still we would recommend that route to Santa Fe. (Which is where we are today, and where we will celebrate Independance Day.)
