Divided by the Rio Grande, the volcanic Jémez Mountains are the western New Mexico Rockies; the Sangre de Cristo ("blood of Christ") Mountains are the eastern chain. Ice Age glaciers carved their summits including Santa Fe Baldy, the prominent peak in the Santa Fe Range, 12,622 feet above sea level.
