This area is filled with natural beauty and expansive vistas. As in much of New Mexico, the people here are not wealthy. While there are some impressive houses near the main road, Jemez Springs proper is a Pueblo and inhabited by people of very modest means.
In the off season (it is clear that there are plenty of places for the tourists to spend money), it is quiet. Loneliness pervades the landscape on this rainy afternoon. It is a place to gather your thoughts and enjoy a largely unchanged place.
Even in places with clearly man-made additions, it is empty and still. A hard place to make a living and a great place to seek your angle of repose.
