    It's a nice road. Lots better than the other EW corridors, especially during winter. Don't worry.

    It's a good ride. Nothing really to worry about but I second the motion on watching your speed dropping off into Alburquerque and Flag...Also if you happen to come back across I-10, make sure your doing the speed limit when your dropping off into Las Cruces. Enjoy the ride!

    Don't think that driving I-40 through N.M. is the Rockies. Yes it is, but, the very southern part. You want the Rockies, drive I-70 west from Denver.

    you want the rockies, jump off 70 at loveland pass and enjoy the extra hour of very enjoyable driving. It goes around the eisenhour tunnel. hazmat route. Hahahhaha took it one time when i was a rookie, omg, white knuckled 20mph all the way. Scariest ride ever. I wouldnt be bothered at all by it now but omg that was scary for being in a truck for 2 weeks.
