The Caja del Rio plateau is one of the most ecologically rich and culturally significant landscapes in the Southwest. Pastor Andrew and Brody Toledo share the beauty and significance of this region in the video: Caja del Rio: Road to 30 Postcard.
Covering nearly 107,000 acres between the Rio Grande and Santa Fe rivers, the area acts as an important wildlife corridor and safe haven from wildfire and other climate disturbances for many species of mammals, birds, and reptiles. Since time immemorial, many Indigenous cultures have maintained a strong connection to the area’s land, water, and wildlife and it is still regarded as sacred to many Pueblo people today.
