Plaza Blanca
An alien landscape of eroded white cliffs, towering pinnacles, and crags. I was drawn here by the prospect that parts of Star Wars: A New Hope were filmed here, but that is not the case. Nonetheless, this is a great place for an afternoon hike amongst otherworldly formations.
To get here, take 155 north from NM-84, just west of Abiquiu. After 2.5 miles turn left at the entrance to Dar Al Islam. The road to the parking area is dirt, but smooth (I saw a Chrysler 300 drive it)
