* IMPORTANT NOTE: On Local Routes:  NM152 from the junction of NM180 to the turn off on NM35 is hilly. If you are pulling a large RV or driving a motor home allow extra time. 

NM152 over the Black Range to/from I25 is NOT recommended for those pulling large trailers or motor homes, especially with underpowered vehicles. This mountain road is very winding and narrow with lots of hills to pull. To avoid this, stay on I-25 to Exit-6, Hatch to NM26. About 40 miles longer, but lots safer.
