Valles Caldera National Preserve [4K UHD] | New Mexico | Longmire Cabin | Soda Dam | Jemez Falls

In this episode we travel along New Mexico Highway 4 to visit The Soda Dam, Valles Caldera National Preserve and Jemez Falls.
🏞️The Soda Dam is essentially a hot springs deposit that is estimated to be around 7,000 years old. The dam is primarily composed of calcium carbonate and travertine, and extends more than 300 feet in length across the Jemez River Valley. It's an impressive 50 feet in height and 50 feet wide at the base.
🏞️ Valles Caldera National Preserve is a stunning volcanic landscape located in north-central New Mexico, near the Jemez Mountains. It's a relatively young preserve, having been established in 2000 when Congress purchased the Baca Ranch. The centerpiece of the preserve is the Valles Caldera, a massive volcanic crater that formed 1.25 million years ago during a colossal eruption that blanketed much of New Mexico with ash.
🏞️ Jemez Falls is the highest waterfall in the Jemez Mountains, with a height of 70 feet.
⛺ ️ While in the area, we stayed at Vista Linda Campground just outside of Jemez Springs, New Mexico

My wife and I don't watch much tv but we greatly enjoyed watching Longmire.

We don't watch much, either, but have heard good things about the show!

Another great video! As a side note Longmire is worth the watch.

We will keep that in mind! Thanks for watching!

I have enjoyed New Mexico the two or three times that I've been there. You guys have found some wonderful places there that I have never heard of. It makes me want to go back! Another place that has been suggested to me in NM is Chaco Canyon. I don't think you two have made it there, yet.

[@AlaskanRamTravelAdventures]

We have heard good things about Chaco Canyon also, but from what we hear, the roads getting there are not the best so we bypassed it this time. We definitely hope to get there in the future, though!
