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. .

Great ride along the east side of the mountains. High desert to the east and mountains to the west. Road is in good condition and there are lots of places to stop for fuel for you and the bike.

Rode this yesterday (Twice!) in extreme wind and still have to say its one of my favorite rides ever. Almost continuous curves, switchbacks, and exchanges until you get to Hillsboro from Silver City. The only other road that even compares that I have ridden is the River Road outside of Big Bend. Lots of dragging footpegs and face splitting grins. The quality of the road is fairly good however during this time of year there is a light spray of gravel in some areas that will more tha likely clear as the season progresses. There isn't any fuel throughout this ride so it would be best to fuel up before in sliver city or at the end of the ride at the little rv/ gas station past the four way stop under the bridge in Caballo.

AMAZING ride! Based on the reviews, I expected it to be good. It was better than that. Rode it westbound to 35 north this week, only to find that 15 south was closed due to heavy smoke from a forest fire, so I backtracked down 35 on to Silver City. Rode to the Coronado Trail from Silver City the next day, only to find it was closed due to forest fire between mile poles 189 and 225 -- "the fun bits". Turns out, Highway 152 was the most technical part of my loop. Well worth the trip.
