Join us as we explore the remote and scenic New Mexico State Road 9, stretching from Arizona to Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border. Along the way, we visit historic and forgotten communities like Animas, Windmill, Hachita, and Columbus—each with fascinating stories of Spanish settlements, outlaw hideouts, mining booms, and military history. From abandoned ghost towns to stunning desert landscapes, we take in the beauty of the region, spot remnants of old railroads, and catch glimpses of the border wall. Stick around for an unexpected discovery at an abandoned speedway as we wrap up this incredible road trip!
