Normally, those kinds of spots hidden away have such a majestic view and delightful sounds. By delightful sounds, I am talking about the birds, the whims of trees, and even the water that floats nearby.

I have always been big on sharing lovely places that involve being one with nature with you. There is another spot that shouldn't go unnoticed and is definitely road trip worthy.

In my opinion, beautiful places are worth the long drive to enjoy a tranquil spot. I would not have known about this serene spot if Aaron Aragon hadn't shared about it.

Aaron Aragon shared his picture on the Abandoned, History, Landscapes & Wildlife of New Mexico Facebook page. It looks like it comes straight out of the movie Legend with Tom Cruise and the creepy-looking devil.

Just refer to the picture Aaron Aragon took of this lovely spot in Jemez, New Mexico. If you're looking for a new place to find some peace, Jemez, New Mexico is only 312 miles away from El Paso, Texas.

If he didn't we probably would not have found out about this particular area that some of us would love to visit.
