Description
"Soda Dam in New Mexico" by Catherine Sherman.
Soda Dam, along New Mexico state road 4, is a large hot spring deposit, made mostly of calcium carbonate. The springs used to empty out onto the dam over the Jemez River, but most of the water now exits from the road cut across the road.
The whole mound is calcium carbonate deposited over millions of years by the hot springs.
The dam with its falls is a popular tourist spot along the Jemez Mountain Trail National Scenic Byway.
