Rt 82 Artesia to Alamorgodo NM

How steep are the grades between these two points? I am driving a 6cyl Toyota MH.

    You may have to trade in Artesia or maybe Hobbs to get to Alamorgodo.
  • Drive from Artesia to Cloudcroft is very scenic drive.

    Drive from Cloudcroft to Alamogordo is were it drops ~4300' in elevation in 12 miles.

    Good road and easy curves just downshift and use braking sparingly so as not to overheat them
