Cucharas Valley from Space

This image from the International Space Station was captured October 26, 2007 at 10:30am MDT from an altitude of 209 statute miles. The view of the Cucharas Valley clearly shows the accessibility to Trinchera Peak as well as West Spanish Peak. A section of FR 415 from Cucharas Pass to Cordova Pass is invisible here due to being on the backside of the mountain from this angle.
