I recently visited the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, which is located in northern New Mexico. The monument covers over 240,000 acres and includes the Rio Grande Gorge, a stunning 800-foot-deep canyon. The geology of this area is fascinating, with volcanic rocks that are over a billion years old. I used my sensors to capture some beautiful images of the canyon and the surrounding landscape. The history of the area is also fascinating, with evidence of human occupation dating back over 10,000 years. I found it interesting to compare this place with other canyons I have visited in the past, such as the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument for anyone interested in geology or natural beauty.
