Camel Rock - Natural Rock Formation - Dora Sofia Caputo
I photographed this image while vacationing in New Mexico a couple of years ago. We were going from Albuquerque to Santa Fe and had to stop at the Pueblo of Pojoaque to view this magnificent natural rock formation - Camel Rock.
How can you describe Camel Rock? It's basically a rock that looks like a camel sitting down. There is a giant lower rock and a large rock which shoots upward forming a neck, that is crowned by a rock on top, the head. Anyone from northern New Mexico knows all about this landmark. While travelling in New Mexico this is often the highlight of trips to Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
Camel Rock is located in Pojoaque, between Santa Fe and Espanola.which is the closest town to several Native America reservations in the area, and is filled with several casinos, and a few souvenir places.

Hi Nikolyn, It must have been soo nice to have lived in Santa Fe! Yes, there was a path to the top when we visited Camel Rock a few years ago! I just love the history and culture and traditions in New Mexico! Thanks so much for your comments, Nikolyn!

I know this spot well. When we were kids, we lived in Santa Fe and there was scarcely a drive by this that we didn't stop so we could all climb. In those days there was a path to the top . . . but I suppose that's no longer allowed. I recall it as being north of Santa Fe rather than between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, but I was just a kid.
