NM SB9 – La Frontera Del Llano 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.

La Frontera del Llano Scenic Byway (the edge of the plains in Spanish) starts at Abbott, a place you'd think wouldn't warrant a name if there weren't a sign there to prove it. Most of the byway (NM 39) runs through Harding County, where cattle outnumber people seven to one. The county has a population of about 750, less than one person per square mile.
