Hwy 491 in New mexico

How is this road for driving a 40' motorhome and towing a car? We are heading up to the Durango area and this looks like it might be a good shortcut from Gallup.

  • There is some open range so watch for sheep, horses, cows etc on the road. Fuel up before leaving Gallup and get a Green Chili Lot-a-Burger before you leave NM.
  • 491 is a straight boring drive. You won't have any issues. From Albuquerque you could also take 550 - at little more interesting.
