The Highway 53 Ancient Way Scenic Byway going to Grants, New Mexico, offers a captivating journey through the region's rich history, stunning natural landscapes, and iconic landmarks. One of the highlights along this scenic route is El Morro Rock Cliffs, a towering sandstone bluff that has served as a landmark for centuries. As you approach El Morro, you'll be awestruck by its sheer size and the intricate inscriptions left behind by explorers, pioneers, and Native Americans. These inscriptions tell stories of their journeys, marking their presence in this awe-inspiring landscape.

Continuing along the byway, you'll encounter another fascinating attraction known as the Bandera Ice Cave. Nestled within the Zuni Mountains, this unique geological formation offers a refreshing contrast to the desert surroundings. Step inside the cave, and you'll discover an unexpected world of perpetual ice, even in the heat of summer. The cool air and surreal ice formations create a mystical atmosphere that feels like stepping into a different realm.

As you drive through the Highway 53 Ancient Way Scenic Byway, the road leads to Grants New Mexico along Historic Route 66 and a smalltown atmosphere Also watch the Grants Fourth of July annual parade

    When you walked el Morro at stop #8, there is a inscription that caught my eye because it was very nicely carved, Gilmor Breckenridge. I looked that name up- P. Gilmer Breckinridge P. (Peachy) Breckinridge was the man in charge of the 25 camels used by Lieutenant Beale in 1857. After his work with Beale, Breckinridge returned to his home state of Virginia and fought in the Civil War. He was killed during a skirmish at Kennon's Landing, Virginia, in 1863.

    Hi Russ, thank you for showing your road trips / travels. Through your vlogs me and my husband are able to go to Sedona. I am always afraid of high elevation but since i watched over and over your vlog to Sedona i was able to see how beautiful the place is and not in high elevation at all. We went and enjoyed the trip. We were able to go up the Holy Cross Chapel, see the Bell Rock, etc and walk down the shopping area. Everytime i want to go somewhere i checked your vlogs first 😂. Last place we visit is Zion National Park in Utah..

    Hello Russ, Route 191 North in Arizona takes you to "Canyon de Chelly" (pronounced "Canyon de Shay") and "Spider Woman Tower", a site you should explore when you come back later this year. South of Grants starts "El Malpais" (the good for nothing country), worth exploring. Magnificent desert vistas everywhere. Blue sky, tortured rock formations, peace and quiet, what could anyone ask for more ?? The local Parade brought tears to my eyes : great, simple, happy people ... RICHARD

    Hi Russ, Enjoyed seeing the inscriptions on the hike. The Bandera Ice Caves were amazing. The long video format is also great because I can sit down and tune out for an hour on your adventure. The drone shots were great as always. Looking forward to the next one, safe travels.
  • @MerleGMott

  • @davidalfred924
    Man oh man, I was just through that area in April. Stayed a few nights in Grant at the KOA so I was able to explore a lot. BTW, the KOA was top notch. Keep on Trucking Russ!
