54 From Vaughn to Santa Rosa is a straight shot with a few rolling hills. From Carrizozo to Vaughn it is hilly with some narrow shoulders, sharpish curves, and has frequent and steeper grades although shorter. I think it is more scenic from Carrizozo to Vaughn but requires more attention to the road due to curves, critters, and traffic.
Just a FYI NMDriver2,
Your description was spot on in regards to 54 from Carrizozo to Vaughn, you must have driven that 100 times. We took that route today with some nasty winds and snow. Needless to say, we took a pitstop in Vaughn. Looking forward to the next driving day to reflect your description from Vaughn to Santa Rosa!
Thanks!
