Fantastic Feathers: Q for Quiet and Secluded #BlogchatterA2Z

Quiet and Secluded

Q is always a tricky letter to write about. I found a few places in the USA with Q that I haven't been to.

I want to write about places that I have experienced. So, here you go.

We have driven through some remote parts of the USA which are quiet, and secluded without any civilization around. It is interesting and sometimes scary to drive through those roads in the dark.

Davis Mountains Scenic Loop: This 76-mile scenic drive is very remote in Texas. No civilization, no houses, no buildings, and just the rocks, trees, and mountains. We always wonder how they have well-built roads to such places even though very few people live there.

In the middle of nowhere

Monument Valley -> Four Corners Monument -> Mesa Verde National Park :

This drive goes through remote areas of Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado. Miles and miles of road to drive, but very few houses, gas stations, and even rest stops. We had to do it to cover those important places.

White Sands National Park to Roswell :

This route goes through mountains and passes through Ruidoso which is remote, but a beautiful winding mountain road. No gas stations or rest areas on the route. Felt very secluded and quiet.

A Quiet Place on the Davis Mountains:

We haven't gone camping in a remote place yet. But, we experienced a very nice airbnb in the Davis Mountains. No cell coverage, beautiful Sunrise and Sunset views, designated dark sky place without any lights in the night, very good for star gazing. It is a beautiful and unique experience to enjoy the colors of the sky, listen to birds, watch wildlife and watch stars and galaxies in the night.
