NM SB2 - Billy the Kid National Scenic Byway Traditional Cache

New Mexico is home to 25 magnificent scenic byways, totaling over 2,900 miles across a diverse landscape. The U.S. Secretary of Transportation recognizes these designated roads based on one or more intrinsic qualities — archaeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational, or scenic.

This is a desert environment so please be careful of the flora and fauna that live here and the trash people leave along the road.

The Wild West lore of gunfights, horses, outlaws, Buffalo Soldiers and Smokey the Bear comes to life along the Billy the Kid Byway, where legends play against a spectacular backdrop of snowy peaks, rolling rivers, orchards and ranchlands. From the one-horse, one-street town of Lincoln where Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett sparred to the bustling ski-town ruckus of Ruidoso, the byway offers a legendary West both present and bygone.
