    Not a good idea to travel 434 from Angel Fire south to Mora (and beyond). The grade isn't bad, but there's a six mile stretch that is very narrow with no center stripe. Fine for a car; not too fine with an RV.

    No traffic on that road, no big deal with a RV.

    If you take 64/58 to I-25 toward Springer then 64 to Santa Rosa and 285 to Roswell - not bad at all.

    You could also take 434/518 into Las Vegas, NM but we've not gone that way.

  • I see a lot of folks asking about grades. I am always curious as to what is the OP's grade limit. 5 6 7 percent?
  • 4% up, about 5.5% down going from Angel Fire to Roswell (a total loss of about 5,000 ft. in 244 miles.
