The Canadian Escarpment is a prominent landform of northeastern New Mexico that extends for almost 100 miles between Las Vegas and Clayton. From this point, the grasslands of the High Plains reach northwestward to the foot of the Southern Rocky Mountains, which rise to elevations of more than 13,000 feet. The elevation here is 6,300 feet.
