Just did the 152 from Silver City to Caballo, unfortunately it just got a new coat and is full of loose gravel. 15mph is fast right now. Skip this awesome road till spring when hopefully all the gravel is gone.

We are in Las Cruces so only did the southern portion of this trip, took NM 152 over to NM61 and looped back to 180.

Rode down from Santa Fe and cut across on 152 down to I-10 on our way to Phoenix. I gotta say, this stretch of road is one of the best kept secrets in the entire US. We never expected to see such beautiful mountainous terrain! In what had been up to that point on our ride nothing more than barren desert, we were extremely suprised with how this remote section of the state had eluded publicity. I had never seen anything as crazy as cows, YES I said COWS walking up the middle of the road like they hadn't a care in the world. Deer were popping out all over the place so keep your head up and stay at a safe pace to allow for quick braking just in case one decides to jump in your path. We stayed the night in Silver City and continued the next morning on Route 90 down to Lordsburg which was a very nice stretch of road as well. From there we hit the I-10 to Phoenix. Definitely want to make it back to ride this area again someday. 4 1/2 stars for sure...the only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because no roadside amenities and the actual road surface is very coarse...not the smoothest surface by far but all the turns and scenery make it worth while.
