You leave the pueblo and head back to town. At the highway you take a left, heading North. You watch carefully for the sign for Outback Pizza on your left. John's friends Charles and Nina say that it is the best pizza you can get anywhere. So you have to try it. It is not a disapointment.
Soon after lunch you are back on the road, heading to the Rio Grande Gorge. You need to just go about a mile further down the road from the pizza place and take the highway that goes left, to the West. Several miles later the gorge just seems to appear. Unlike the mountains of New Mexico, only a shadow hints at the existence of the gorge from a distance.
