US 64 Closed between Cimarron and Eagle Nest

Highway 64 is closed temporarily between Cimarron and Eagles Nest is closed due to a fire as of Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at 5 PM.  You can get up to date information at the NMDOT hotline - 800-432-4269 or their web site - http://www.nmroads.com/ .  They advise seeking an alterantive route.  If coming from the North East, take 160 West of I-25.  If coming from the South East, come up from either Wagon Mound, Watrous (very windy road), or Las Vegas.

US 64 is a great way to travel across the Northern part of NM.  Lots of interesting places to explore.  Many things to do along the way.  Our advice is to take your time and check out those little places of interest.  Get an extra memory card for that digital camera.  You'll likely find many photo moments, maybe even some animals.  A number of state parks and national forests along the way.  Many trails into the hills for a little off road excursion.  Tha Sangre de Christo Range is spectacular!  Enjoy the vistas.

Very high winds forecast which may well lead to other closures around the state.  If you smoke, please use your ash tray rather than the road side.  If you camp, make absolute certain that camp fire is 100% out.  Cold out!

Smokey and the team at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza thank you!
