We will be leaving the Cortez area on October 7 headed back to Texas. Last time we drove home through Bernalillo/Albuquerque on Highway 550 on just a regular weekday the traffic was stop and go and congested.
This year we will be driving back during the balloon festival. I have us routed down highway 491 in west New Mexico through Gallup and then IH-40. We have driven that way previously and know about the truck traffic.
Do you Road and Route experts have any opinions? Thanks in advance
