There are two roads from Santa Fe to Taos, New Mexico. One runs through the gorge of the Colorado river. The other runs over the mountains through pine forests. The one through the pine forests is considered the scenic route. I drove both routes a couple of years ago. I live in eastern Canada. Half our roads run through pine forests. I am heartily sick of looking at pointy trees. I did not find the high road scenic. None of our roads run through brilliantly colored sandstone canyons. I thought the main road was amazingly scenic. But if you live in New Mexico, half of your roads run through brilliantly colored sandstone canyons. Very few of them run through trees. To them, no doubt, pointy trees are scenic. In short, it is all about contrast. Juxtapose red with green. Juxtapose dry with wet. Juxtapose barren with lush. See the scene through the eyes on a character who comes from a place that is lush and green and wet and bountiful.
