Off the Beaten Path in New Mexico and Arizona

According to the publication, "the Santa Fe Railway takes you through the Southwest Enchanted Land…Nearby are ruins of prehistoric pueblos, aged, thousands of years. Over yonder is a petrified forest, eons old. Criss-crossing the plateau are narrow clefts of profound depth. Painted deserts, rainbow-colored, delight the eye. Great pine forests clothe the higher altitudes. The plants are of unfamiliar species. The trees are different from back East. Herds of cattle and flocks of sheep browse on the succulent grasses. Cowboys and sheep herders everywhere are in evidence. Sunset and afterglow take on a new meaning, and at night the sky is alive with stars which appear almost to touch the earth. It is a land of wide spaces and brilliant colors.
