Just before Taos we crossed the Rio Grande for the first time on this trip. We had planned to stop at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, but the place was a zoo (actually, more like a flea market, with all the Native Americans selling souvenirs). The railings of the bridge were so crowded that people had to walk in the road.

This trip would later include five more crossings of the Rio Grande in our RV, as well as two crossings on our bikes.
