Special Considerations
Along the byway, even in lower elevations and the mild winter, a coat is generally needed.
Enjoy the nature, history, and culture of southwest New Mexico - but don't disturb the natural, historical, and cultural sites. Do not remove, destroy, or deface anything on any site; strict laws protect artifacts on State, Federal, Indian, and private lands. Buying, selling, trading, or transporting these stolen items is also illegal.
Restrictions
Sections of NM-152, NM-52, and NM-59 may be closed in winter due to snow. Roads are not plowed nights and weekends, but they are normally clear and open for safe travel by the next working day after a snow.
Bridges between Caballo and Hillsboro bear twelve-foot, six-inch height restrictions.
Seasons
- Best Time to Drive
April and May or September and October are the best months to drive the byway because there is less traffic. Spring and fall provide the best weather for out-of-doors exploration of the historic sites along the byway.
- High Season
The highest crowds and traffic are during Memorial weekend, Fourth of July weekend and Labor Day weekend.
