Tijeras Canyon

This pass between the Sandia and Manzano Mountains has been a natural route for travel between eastern New Mexico and the Rio Grande Valley since pre-historic times. Known as Canon de Carnue in the Spanish colonial period, it takes its present name fromt the villiage of Tijeras, Spanish for "scissors."
