Tijeras Canyon (sometimes also referred to as Tijeras Pass) is a prominent canyon in the central part of the U.S. state of New Mexico. It separates the Sandia Mountains subrange to the north from the Manzano Mountains subrange (specifically the lower "Manzanitas" subrange) to the south. These subranges are part of the larger Sandia–Manzano Mountains; Tijeras Canyon forms a pass through this range. Elevations along the bottom of the canyon range from 5,600 feet (1,700 m) to 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above sea level. The canyon drains to the west, into a large dry wash known as Tijeras Arroyo, which runs through Kirtland Air Force Base, passes just south of the Albuquerque International Airport, and then joins the Rio Grande. The arroyo heads at the historically important pass (approximately 7,04

| - El cañón de las Tijeras, cañón de Tijeras o cañón de Carnuel es un cañón muy importantes de la parte central del estado estadounidense de Nuevo México. El cañón de Tijeras es comúnmente denominado por los lugareños como el cañón I-40 ya que la mayor autopista que lo atraviesa, uniendo las ciudades de Albuquerque en Nuevo México con los lugares del este. Separa a la Sierra de Sandía al norte de la al sur. (Estas dos sierras pueden considerarse parte de un mismo conjunto denominado .) La elevación promedio en la sima del cañón va desde los 5600 pies (1700 m) to 7000 pies (2100 m) sobre el nivel del mar. El cañón drena hacia el oeste, en el Arroyo de Tijeras, que recorre la base de las fuerzas aéreas de Kirtland, pasando al sur del aeropuerto internacional de Albuquerque para después verter sus aguas en el Río Grande. El nombre se deriva de la palabra española Tijeras que se referían a la unión de dos cañones tributarios o dos caminos tomando la forma de unas tijeras. El nombre es utilizado preferentemente para denominar al pueblo de Tijeras en la unión del cañón y el nombre original del cañón era Cañón de Carnué. Sin embargo el nombre Tijeras actualmente es utilizado universalmente para referirse al cañón. Los habitantes originales del cañón eran los indios Pueblo, que vivían en el Pueblo de Tijeras cerca del actual pueblo de Tijeras, pero el sitio actualmente está deshabitado. (es)

- Tijeras Canyon (sometimes also referred to as Tijeras Pass) is a prominent canyon in the central part of the U.S. state of New Mexico. It separates the Sandia Mountains subrange to the north from the Manzano Mountains subrange (specifically the lower "Manzanitas" subrange) to the south. These subranges are part of the larger Sandia–Manzano Mountains; Tijeras Canyon forms a pass through this range. Elevations along the bottom of the canyon range from 5,600 feet (1,700 m) to 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above sea level. The canyon drains to the west, into a large dry wash known as Tijeras Arroyo, which runs through Kirtland Air Force Base, passes just south of the Albuquerque International Airport, and then joins the Rio Grande. The arroyo heads at the historically important pass (approximately 7,040 feet (2,150 m)), and this pass and the entire canyon are traversed by Interstate 40, following the path of historic U.S. Route 66. (Route 66 originally passed through Santa Fe and entered Albuquerque from the North. In 1937 Governor Arthur Hannett re-routed the road away from Santa Fe and through Tijeras Canyon as revenge on politicians who he perceived had thwarted his re-election.) A railroad, the Albuquerque Eastern Railway, was proposed to run through the Canyon in 1901, connecting to the New Mexico Central at Moriarity, with a branch to the coalfields around Hagan. Some grading for the trackbed was done (still visible at places near the western mouth) but tracks were never laid in the canyon, and the project was abandoned in 1908. The name Tijeras means "scissors" in Spanish, and the name is said to come from the junction of two tributary canyons, or perhaps of two roads. The name is most properly applied only to the small village, Tijeras, at the junction, as the original name of the canyon was Cañon de Carnué. However the name Tijeras is now almost universally applied to the canyon. The original inhabitants of the canyon were Pueblo people, occupying Tijeras Pueblo near the site of the present-day town of Tijeras, but the site has long been deserted. The largest employer in the Canyon is a cement plant which opened in the late 1950s. Its buildings and excavations dominate the portion of the canyon and surrounding hills southwest of the town of Tijeras. In 1950, the Tijeras Canyon job was the largest road project ever let in the State of New Mexico. It also carried the honor of being the first U. S. Route 66 four-lane divided highway built in New Mexico. Skousen, Isbell & Johnston Contracting Company was awarded the contract. The job reached completion in 1951. The project extended from Albuquerque's eastern city limits to roughly a mile east of Tijeras. (en)
