Title Getting There About the picture "San Pedro" Getting There Comming Soon About the picture
This was taken just off the highway leading up to the Sandia Crest and looking towards the East. The name comes from my search for the name of the mountains in the picture. Originally, the first name I saw attributed to those mountains was the San Pedro Mountains and, since this captured the western flavor, the name seemed appropriate. Recently, however, it seems that the maps refer to these mountains as the Cedar Mountains. But Cedar mountains just doesn't have the same ring, so San Pedro stuck.
From the beginning this shot has always filled me with visions and wonder of what it must have been like when the first Conquistadors or the first Native Americans viewed these mountains from this spot.
