Great high desert scenery. Mountains on your right and canyons on your left! Travel through and next to Cibola National Forest. Quaint communities.

Road Quality

Good pavement, "foot peg scrapping curves," and plenty of places to catch the shoulder and take in the scenery.

Roadside Amenities

Stop at the Goat Farm for goat milk fudge, goat cheese with green chili, kids can pet the goats, and more. See the Quarai Ruins--400 year old church--with towering adobe walls. Stop in Moriarity for a cold one and then cut back to the interstate for a 65 mile run to Albuquerque or head south to El Paso and the Border! Visit the Cibalo National Forest.

Comment: Just be careful on this road. Always alot of police on patrol, and not very forgiving of the posted 50mph speed limit along the route

Comment: Great road with a variety of twisties that open onto high desert plain. Excellent views of the Monzano Mts and deep canyons on the North end. Don't miss the old Spanish missions, well worth the time to check them out.
