My wife grew up in Tucson, which means we've made the eight-hour drive from Santa Fe more times than I care to count. On those earliest road trips, as we headed west on I-10, I remember seeing the Chiricahua Mountains for the first time out the left-hand window, along with the exit signs for the national monument. I also recall being surprised that there was a national monument in what looked like such a desolate place. The Chiricahuas will fool you.
