Estancia Valley
"About them rolled the prairie—mile upon mile of it in all directions—flat, and yet tawny from the frost of the past winter. Far to the west they could see the peaks of the Manzano Mountains, north lay the Pedernal Hills, south the long range of the Gallinas, east the endless flat plains over which they had come."
