Camel Rock, New Mexico, in 2014 Postcard

"Camel Rock, New Mexico, in 2014" by Catherine Sherman. A large sandstone formation, called Camel Rock, stands prominently against a bright blue sky, surrounded by green shrubs and desert landscape in New Mexico. The unique geological feature creates a striking contrast with the vibrant colours of nature. Camel Rock resembles a seated camel near Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico. The rock is about 40 feet high and 100 feet long. This photograph was taken in April 2014. In 2017, the rock lost the end of the snout, but it still looks like a camel. The rock is easily visible from U.S Highway 285, north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Exit 175 leads to the rock, where visitors can park in a small lot and take a trail to the rock for a better view.
