Going from Red River, NM to Durango, CO
Hello, I don't have much experience driving in mountains, and am leaving Red River, NM headed to Durango, CO., pulling a 38' toyhauler. How bad is the route, Hwy 84 then west on 160 to Durango? Thanks...

US 84 to US 160 isn't that bad at all as I remember coming down from 160. Been quite a few years ago.
I assume you will be using NM 522 to US 64 to Chama & on to US 84 to 160. Which shouldn't be too bad either. Some climbing getting up & then down from the Rio Grande Gorge area to Tierra Amarilla. A very scenic drive up into some Alpine country.
There is also the Cumbres Toltec Steam Train from Chama, NM to Antonito, CO. It is a neat one.
