Trail Overview

This route is easy but can be more difficult due to weather conditions. This shortcut connects I-25 to Highway 14, the Turquoise Trail. There is private land on both sides of the road with barbed wire fencing. Look carefully beyond the barbed wire and you might see the majestic wild horses of central New Mexico.
