Eating lunch on the tailgate here is better than sitting inside of a fast food joint anyday

A beautiful place to stop and see the landscape

A great sight to see.

Was tired. It was a safe cheap place to get some rest. Can see all the stars in the sky at night.

This place is always busy. They staff are extremely nice and the food is always good. The facilities are very clean as well.

Please be careful when driving on i25 around this strech the pictures show what happen when i deer ran in front of my car. Please be aware and always put on your seatbelt.

So much to see, remember and be thankful for.

Site of a hostel built in 1867 along the Santa Fe Trail to accommodate stage coach and wagon travelers. The Santa Fe Trail linked Independence Missouri with Santa Fe New Mexico. It connected with the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, a trade route between Mexico City and San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico. Clifton house grew from this traffic into a settlement, which included a trading post, blacksmith shop, and post office. For a short time it was the headquarters of the English company that bought the Maxwell Land Grant. The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad was opened two miles north in 1879, quickly closing down stage travel on the Santa Fe Trail. Closure of the Clifton House soon followed and it was destroyed by arson in 1885.

Nice. Peaceful spot
