This one's too easy. I'd be fossilized if no one else finds a gate to the right answer. ;)
Rabbit ears gateway to the west on the way to Raton
Fossil butte
I was also going to guess the place Gila Monster's hinting at.
Years ago, I was hiking the trail up to those hills and the quarry they hold when I encountered a big rattler who just didn't want to yield the trail to me. Since I was (afaik) the only visitor in the park atthe time, was about 3/4 mile from the yet-to-open visitor center, and was only wearing sandals, I decided I didn't need to see the quarry that badly, and turned back. But I did get a great photo of the snake coiled & reared up at me out of the bargain!
But where is the photo?
There may be a problem with Traveler's website. It's not uncommon lately for an article to show up with a photo missing and only a little box containing what is probably the caption only.
In this case, a little gray rectangle that says, "Where in the National Park System was this photo composed?"
Not Fossil Butte, and not Rabbit Ears. And if all you see is a gray rectangle, try refreshing your screen.
Volcanoes just west of Albuquerque. Or, somewhere else.
No, not in New Mexico.
