On the Camino Real
“Founded in 1875, this small farming community was first named “La Jolla”. It was once famous for finely woven blankets. Here the Camino Real left the Rio Grande and followed a canyon northeast to Embudo Creek where it began a climb over the mountains to Taos.” (monument highway marker sign)
