High in the mountains

Valle de Juarez has an elevation of over 6000 feet above sea level, but from here you can still do some serious climbing.  A convoy of three vehicles took us up and up into the mountains.  I lack the superlatives to describe what we saw as we climbed.  You felt as if you could see into next week, the day was so clear and the view so long.

The narrow road wound round and around and we gazed down into green valleys, where a single house might be perched at the edge of a sheer drop.  How isolated it seemed, how mesmerizing the panorama.
