Dalhart, TX to Las Cruces, NM on #54

Question

Can anyone comment on the above route? There are several options but we prefer the back roads if they are in good shape. Are there any white knuckle mountain curves or the like?

Any and all comments welcome as we've never traveled that route.

Thanks.

It is a good road . Part 2 lane part 4 lane. when you get to Tucumcari, NM 54 will run with Interstate 40 to Santa Rosa, NM then branch off S/W towards Vaughn , Carrizozo, Alamogordo and then pickup highway 70 to Las Cruces. I just drove from Dalhart, TX to Nogal, NM on that road yesterday.....Good road with no problems and no mountain driving.

Nothing to raise the pulse on that road.  Gas station every 35 miles or so, basically.  Good pavement. No mountains.
