Written Directions

Just start in Silver City, NM and take NM 152 east all the way to Caballo, NM.

Scenery

This road is great continuous hairpins with rapid elevation changes, great scenery, camping, lot's of trees. Almost no police officers. This road is hard, you'll only average about 40 miles per hour going hard, lot's of knee skidding.

Drive Enjoyment

A solid 4-star rating because of all the twists, turns, and hairpins.

Tourism Opportunities

Don't take this route for the things to do along the way ... take it for the driving experience. There is not too much to do along the way except for camping. .

Amazing road. I used it as a way to get from the interstate 25 to Silver City. I was amazed by what I enountered. I rode the Coronado Trail the next day and NM 152 is just as fun, if not more technical. Thia road is fun at the speed limit or less. Watch for any rocks on the road and look out for the cattle guards in corners or at the exit of a corner. Usually not an issue but could cause an issue if leaned over to far. Watch for cattle napping by the road as well.

This road is second only to the Needles out of Custer in South Dakota in my book. Heck, I ride the 300 miles from Tucson to T or C just to come back through the Black Range (Hwy 152). I have been riding this for a year and never get tired of it. Do watch for the deer.

Living in Truth or Consequences I have made this ride many times going to Silver City. It's one of those "go for the ride, not the destination" routes. Don't get me wrong- Silver City is great, but the ride is awesome. Just don't get in a hurry or you'll wind up in one of those deep canyons or wiping out a deer! Ride safe!
