Texas to Las Vegas

Have pulled a 35 foot fiver on 60 and 93. No problem, both are good roads.

Thanks Desert Hawk for the information,

We love New Mexico. We have spent alot of time there.

In case you are in mood for some real Southern New Mexico Food and/or a place to overnight:

Las Cruces Area & Southern NM Mexican Food plus camping and attractions in the area. At least try a Green Chile Cheese Burger. Video

Taste of NM Pecans: Stahmanns or Salopek

In Las Cruces: Hacienda RV Resort and Siesta RV Park are the easiest to get to, just of I-10 exit 140. Las Cruces KOA and Sunny Acres RV Park off I-10 exit 135. KOA on the mesa over looking the Mesilla Valley, Sunny Acres in the Valley. Park Reviews Siesta RV has gravel roads & pads, Hacienda RV has paved roads, maybe concrete pads. Sunny Acres more into town, maybe cramped???

Leasburg Dam State Park is about 17 miles N of Las Cruces on I-25. With Fort Selden State Mon't near by. A young Douglas Mac Arthur called the fort home while his father was post commander in the late 1880s.


Info for Tucson, a really neat town & area: :) Clicky an old post some links may not be working anymore.

There are two units to see at Saguaro NP, one on each side of Tucson. East unit has a paved road which loop around part of the park. Small visitor center. West unit is a dirt road, seems longer maybe ? & has a larger visitor center. Near it is also the AZ Sonora Desert Museum (very good one, more zoo than museum), a must see IMHO. Also campground near by Gilbert Ray CG. Info in the above Clicky.

One could stay at the Kartchner state park by the cave & do a day trip to Tombstone, which isn't much now but a large tourist trap operation. The old courthouse is neat. Seeing where all the history happened was nice. Shouldn't take too long. Bisbee a short drive from Tombstone was neat. Nice mine tour there as well. One could do both in a long day trip from Benson area. We did once using a hotel in Benson using our car. We did Bisbee & the mine tour with a stop at Tombstone on way out, then drove to Las Cruces.

Chiricahua National Monument out from Wilcox is great, been there will go back. Has a nice campground as well. http://www.nps.gov/chir/index.htm

Thanks for the replies.

Looks like its I-10 to Phoenix then 303 to 60 to 93 to I-40.

as stated, I-10 west to 303 on the west side of Phoenix, then north to 60 and out to 93. good route all the way.

We are thinking of going in late March if this helps.

I-40 will be driveable most days, but late March could still have some snow falling in the passes, and be cold.

Wind can be an issue between Gallup and Flagstaff at times.

It's a day to day thing.

The more southern route is better if you are on a schedule and can't sit out bad weather.

If you go I-40, be sure to make a side-trip into downtown Grants, NM - and go through the local mining museum. A great, fantastic, stop.

In Phoenix, take the 303 from I-10 to US 60. Then west to 93. It's not a bad route.
