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 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.

This is just one outstanding road. The thrill is the scenery, not the speed. I fell in love with this road traveling down from the Painted Desert and heading out through Siver City. Don't forget about The Catwalk on 180 just on the west side of Siver City. This is a great ride!!! You cannot go wrong.

Great road. Very twisty, very scenic and good road conditions. Definitely worth the trip to get there.
