This is a two sided marker
Side A:
Reaching altitudes more than 13,000 feet, well watered, and forested, the Rocky Mountains are host to numerous recreational activities including skiing, fishing, hunting, and camping. To the north can be seen numerous volcanic peaks that lie east of the Rocky Mountains in both Colorado and New Mexico. Elevation here 6,300 feet.

Side B:
Treeless grasslands of the High Plains cover the eastern one third of New Mexico and stretch eastward into the mid-continent. Surface water from the mountains beyond the underground aquifers permit ranching as the principal economic activity. Carbon Dioxide gas, a geologic resource, has been discovered and developed in the subsurface.
