New Mexico 485

NM Route 485 is a unique road. It is a narrow 2-lane back road which goes that goes through the 'Gilman Cut', a couple of tunnels cut through the 'Guadalupe Box' for a logging road. The canyons along the way provide amazing scenery. Be sure to view the video.

The paved portion of the road is only about 7 miles to a gate. If the gate is open, you can continue on the unpaved section. 485 is a worthwhile 20 minute side trip from NM Route 4.
