The Alamogordo Loop is a paved ride in Southwestern New Mexico. Starting in Alamogordo, this ride quickly enters the fun roads inside the Lincoln National Forest. After a short tunnel, this ride turns onto a fun road that traces the path of Fresnal Creek.
There is a short straight stretch of road on the way to the next twisty area, but there are a few historic and scenic spots along this stretch.
The next section of this ride includes both main roads and smaller, paved side roads, including a twisty section in Silver Creek Canyon, eventually ending up in Cloudcroft.
From Cloudcroft back to Alamogordo is another great twisty section, but before returning to the starting point, this ride take in the New Mexico Museum of Space History as well as the White Sands Dune Walk.
