Scenic depends on your POV and attitude. They are trying to make the Organ mts a national park. They are 6 miles from my house, and any look that way is scenic, even when looking from the walmart parking lot. Most would agree that's scenic. But to my eye, the junky old casas in the valley are also New Mexico scenic. The best road I ever biked in NM though, is just the old highway by Nogal Canon. 2 cars an hour, and nothing but desert. Lots of prettier routes, but none better on the bike.
