How carriers move through New Mexico.
I-25 runs from Las Cruces through Albuquerque and Santa Fe to Raton and Colorado. I-40 crosses from Gallup through Albuquerque to Tucumcari and Texas, and I-10 runs through Las Cruces and Deming between El Paso and Arizona.
Seasons and weather
Much of New Mexico sits at high elevation. Albuquerque is around 5,000 feet and Santa Fe around 7,000, so winter snow is common in the north, especially over Raton Pass. Spring is windy, and summer monsoon storms come quickly.
