Took a fall foliage trip. Started in Raton NM. Took FSR 1950 into Carson NF. Started seeing aspens around Cimarron CG. Stayed on FSR1950 through Valle Vidal. FSR 1950 eventually runs along Costilla Creek and thru its canyon. It eventually turns into NM 196 around Amalia and then intersects NM 552 at Costilla.
A lot of aspens all along the route. Costilla canyon has outstanding scenery and in its lower end the cottonwoods were as gold as the aspens.
Took NM 552 to Questa then NM 38 to Red River and Eagle Nest where we got on US 64 to complete the loop back to Raton.
Had a fine time. Drove 229 miles, took 6 hours.
