Named in honor of W.H. Emory,who passed by here with the Army of the West in 1846.
His report to the U.S. Government is the earliest scientific account of this region which then belonged to Mexico.
We travel this pass often on our trips to New Mexico and is one of our favorite views.
It also affords a great cool off from the desert heat below.
There use to be a spring you could stop at and get the coldest drink of water you ever had but it has been taken out.
But if you look about half way up you will see a creek crossing the road,might want to stop at this pullout.
As always have fun be safe and
HAPPY.................................WAYMARKING
