Northern-Central NM Loop - By Ridinfree

This loop will take you through "a bit of everything." I especially enjoyed Highway 4 snaking through the reservations and beautiful scenery as well as passing Peñasco on the way to Las Vegas. The two stretches that were a bit long were from Espanola to Dixon and Las Vegas to the turnoff toward Madrid. I would recommend adding the 14 mile trek up to Sandia Crest on Highway 14 from San Antonito a few miles before getting onto I-40.
