Granite Gap is where NM Highway 80 goes through the Peloncillo Mts. The area is overgrazed, but the rocks are nice and it's a good area for ferns. I've been there on several occasions, but only briefly.

Dusk at Granite Gap, 9/6/04.

A cloudy day at Granite Gap, 9/19/04. It'd been raining off and on--sometimes quite heavily--the whole day.
