...hmmm I dunno: "Not ... great scenery"? It's nice to me. Although the mountain vistas are undeniably spectacular (and I'd go there in a second), I really like the southwest big skies and open land. Besides, there are mountains in NM, TX, AZ... :-) And speaking of the Pecos, there's usually water in it down 'round the Sheffield, TX area when I go through.
