Founded in 1699, the village of San Ysidro is at the junction of U.S. Highway 550 and NM Highway 4, in the south end of the Jemez Valley. The Jemez River runs through the village, just north of where the Rio Salado River joins the Jemez River. Paintable subjects include the old church in San Ysidro, surrounding mountains, river and village structures. Snacks, gas and facilities are available nearby. Pack a lunch and bring water.
Meet in the Shell gas station parking lot just before the junction with Highway 4.
DIRECTIONS:
From I-25 take highway 550 west at Bernalillo (Exit 242) and drive 24 miles to San Ysidro, which is at the junction of highway 550 and Highway 4.
