re: the scenic route around 'Cruces---
--- BUMP ---
I found a great route around the east side of Las Cruces that will take you right up to
and northward along the foothills of the Organ Mountains-
From I-25, head east up University Blvd. past the Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum...
New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum | Las Cruces, New Mexico | Celebrating and Preserving the History and Culture of Farming and Ranching in New Mexico
University Blvd. becomes Dripping Springs Road as you continue east,
and (as of the date of this post) the pavement ends a few miles before you get to
the Dripping Springs Park entrance gate and changes to a nice wide dirt road.
After the park entrance gate the road becomes paved again...
Dripping Springs Natural Area
From that entrance gate you turn north on Baylor Canyon Road and travel a few miles on more wide,
graded dirt road- it shortly turns back into pavement and runs past the Baylor Pass hiking trail parking area-
this is a trail that leads east over the mountains and down to the Aguirre Springs campground
mentioned in my first post above...
LocalHikes - Baylor Pass
From the Baylor Pass trailhead parking lot, continue north on Baylor Canyon Road (also called NASA road)
and you will meet up with Hwy. 70 running east/west...

Let's do it
Hey Ellsworth,
I too live in Deming. I just got a dual sport bike, 1200GS. I would love to do this trip with you some time. Maybe in the Spring when it warms up a bit.
I have done the "street" version of this on my FJR1300, and years ago on a couple of other bikes.
This trip through the mountain on forest roads sound very exciting!
Later,
DK

hello DK-
Actually I live in Alamogordo now- but I still have a group of friends in Deming
that I cruise out west to see every so often>>> next trip when it warms up a bit, like you say.
I've done a few runs north of Deming also- the Nutt/Hillsboro/Emory Pass/City of Rocks loop is great.
I'll PM you this spring if I head out thereabouts & maybe we can meet up, eh---

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
