If one travels north of Silver City, New Mexico towards the historic town of Pinos Altos, one will reach the continental divide at this particular spot. Like the pass on State Highway 90 south of Silver City, this pass is unnamed. (That's my buddy Dave in the photo!) 
Here is the view towards the west side of the divide. I like the view of the mountains in the background.
