We followed one of New Mexico's most underrated scenic drives — from the Very Large Array and Highway 52, through Cibola National Forest, onto the Geronimo Trail Scenic Byway, and up to Emory Pass in the Gila National Forest.
This route packs in so much of what makes New Mexico fascinating: radio astronomy, Apache history, old mining towns, hot springs, desert basins, and high mountain forest — all within a relatively short stretch of road.
It's the kind of drive that reminds us why we love taking the slower route. Every curve seems to reveal a new layer of the landscape.
Have you driven the Geronimo Trail Scenic Byway?
