We had heard that this gallery was worth a stop, and we were not disappointed. They represent a lot of really wonderful photographers- some of the best in the Southwest- and the photos on display are extraordinary. They have all the recent winners of New Mexico Magazine photo contests, and it's great to see them all in one place. All the photos are for sale, as well as a number of good books. We loved the gallery and wish we had had more time to spend there.

I had been there in the 70's (yes, I'm that old!) and there were no paved trails or campsites. The paved trail and boardwalks were in excellent condition and the signage was very informative. The hilltop view was a perfect photo op spot.
