“Great place to practice panorama shots” commented fellow blogger Mrs. P after viewing the post yesterday about Walking the Rim. “I will share a couple of those” I told her. They are linked to much larger views. Click to embig for a much more satisfying view.
Looking east from the rim. Oklahoma and Texas are somewhere in the distance. The 8500 ft volcano at the right is ancient and extinct. | Click to embig.

This brief video looks south and pans to the west from the rim. We later drove through the mountains to arrive in Taos, NM.
