Question Planning a Stay at Angel Fire RV Resort this summer

[CaptainGizmo]

Looks like we will stop at Oasis RV Resort in Amarillo the night or two before Angel Fire. Thoughts on routes into Angel Fire from Amarillo? RT 386 out of Vegas, TX looks reasonable or maybe a Ranch to Market 1061 road if we feel adventurous

Not sure if you meant "VEGA, TX", but no matter...I was curious to see what RVTW would suggest from Amarillo and can tell you THIS is the way we came out of Angel Fire when we drove east into Amarillo.

So, as mentioned, the road through Cimarron is a rural 2-lane through fields and past NRA HA...no sweat.

After you enter the canyon, it gets tighter and, as I mentioned, I had to watch my overhead more than the sides; it's more of a valley road than a cliffside if that helps.

Here's the route for your reference:

BTW, I just stayed at THE BIG TEXAN RV RANCH and was very surprised! Clean and fresh; and didn't mind the extra freeway noise...I'd gladly stay there again.

Joe, I just noticed you mentioned taking 1061 and I would not recommend it. It winds through the small canyons up to Boys Ranch. If you were driving a sports car it would be a lot of fun.

Over to Vega and up 385 would be my first choice but it's a little windy in a few places.
Over to 87 and up to Dumas then west on 87 would be the smoothest.

You might want to take a look at the Texoma RV Park in Dumas, it is a free city park we stay at on our way to and from Colorado. A downside is, if I remember it's electric only.

I took 1061 in my 39' CS a few years ago. Most of it is 3 lane and they are 12' lanes, but no shoulder. It was not a terrible drive.

Taos is on our agenda, thanks for reminding me about the earthships!!

Also, last year we had a delicious NM lunch at a very simple little restaurant in Taos, La Cueva Cafe. No wonder it gets good reviews. Judy D
