Driving in New Mexico

The strongest concentration of mountain driving roads is in northern New Mexico, where routes around Taos, Santa Fe, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains link high valleys, pine and aspen forests, and steep-sided canyons. The Enchanted Circle uses roads including NM 38 and US 64 around the Wheeler Peak area, while the High Road to Taos crosses elevated country between the Española Valley and Taos. Near Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM 14 follows the Turquoise Trail through rolling piñon-juniper hills and old mining communities. West and south, the landscape becomes broader and more remote, with scenic roads through the Jemez Mountains, Gila region, Sacramento Mountains, volcanic terrain, and open desert basins. Major paved highways are generally straightforward to access, but many Forest Service roads are governed by individual motor-vehicle-use designations and may have seasonal or vehicle-specific restrictions.
