The Gila Wilderness, Awesome

Must be too much to type in Bursum Rd (The 159)

Well, I could hardly stand All L the excitement.

New Mexico is the best, you can really get out there, away from as many humans as possible

Im in NM !! But i have to google where this is 😊

Looks like fun if on a motorcycle

Road videos like this are great, but "default" should be to list !) the elevation, and 2) time of year being driven. I had to go to the comments to find out the other variables. It's like all those Colorado mining visits to old towns...........then you realize you're ABoVE 10 thousand feet, so that green grass and beautiful warm day is two months of the year, with ten months of sled.

From there you drive up to Willow Creek We use to meet logging trucks coming down the mountain in the early sixties My dad drove up on the side of the hill for one

Love the GL1500, my favorite bike. Checked your channel and saw that you are also into off-roading a bit. "Gets my Subscribe".. Road vids from a GL1500 really make one want to get out and go somewhere, not for the destination, but for the journey.

The first time I drove this rode I swear there was an RV or other large vehicle around every blind turn.

Fun times!!! Not sure if they're still in business but I bought a Tulsa windshield 20 years ago, and that thing sheds water like a duck!! I get a little water on my knees, where it drips down. I've always had a 3/4 helmet with my Wing and if it rains real hard I'll put on some clear safety glasses, but not sure I've ever really needed them!! How long have you had your Wing and how many miles do you have on it so far?

First video I'm watching, and you're ALSO a GoldWing guy......AND I hear Zeppelin right away? Pretty sure I'm gonna be a fan!!!!

I’m in Albuquerque. I love that ride.

One of my favorite ‘local’ rides. Nice job!

Detectar is Work

1/31/2021. We had no idea that this road was so narrow and had many blind curves. We hit some light ice patches in the shaded areas early morning. If feels like a single lane road. You just hope that no one needs to pass you. No guard rails or boulders on the edge of the road. Big steep terrain next to you mainly when you travel down the mountain. Luckily we were able to follow the water truck down the mountain who paved the road for us. Not looking forward to drive this road again. Views are spectaculair !!

If you think this was bad, you should have continued on the Bursum road EAST of Mogollon. . .That is where the going gets serious. . .

QUESTION: Since the 'Museum' was shown on the right, based upon the Google map, it looks like this drive took route 159 from the west, correct? Unless that road has gotten worse, it also looks like it could be easily driven by a compact car such as my Honda FIT. If anyone heads up that way this Spring, let me know the road conditions. I love driving on roads like that although I don't have my Isuzu 4WD Trooper anymore.

I used to drive this road with a loaded 4-horse trailer behind my pickup. I prayed not to meet up with anyone coming down hill, but usually did, like the crazy postman Not much room for backing up, but after those first curves and cliffs you have it made.

Just visited over Christmas. Frightening road!

Been a while, before the flood, since I drove that road. Not much changed on the mountain. The valley is a textbook example of flash flood erosion. Fortunately the town was not washed away even though to road was relocated. For folks that have not driven mountain gravel roads please not the 10 and 15 mph signs are not just advisory. They are a good idea on the switchbacks. Just take you time and stay away from the edges. The uphill edge could catch a wheel and trap your car/SUV. The down hill edge could require flying lessons. Stop every once in a while and admire the view. Stop every once in a while to stop shaking. At one point in our drive all I could see in the windshield was an Eagle. Magnificent. If you really want a neat road continue east past the gate into the Gilla forrest. I have not done that yet. Maybe next time.

Beautiful stark area. Center of every Louis lamour book

Nice! Who doesn't like a lil fanny now and then? 😉

Perfect video for what I am looking for. I plan on making this trip in the summer of 2021. I see that the road is super skinny in some places. I also noticed that there were no cars coming at you(unless I missed something). Having done this, would you be totally confident to do it again if it was your first time? Did you spend much time in the town itself? If so, how were the people there if there were any you came into contact with. Sorry if these are silly questions.

Cool!

Wow! Not sure I'm up for that drive!

Thanks for posting this. I was part of the crew that went out to do the geo work on the abutments for the bridge repairs when they fixed the road, and it shows the damage in the area well. Amazing what 9 inches of rain in 45 minutes on a burn scar can do. I need to dig out my old video and post it. Most definitely not a fun road when the morning ice hasn't got sunlight on it yet.

Lol! I had a panic attack when it went to one lane and gingerly reversed until I could turn around and head back down the mountain. That was the stuff of nightmares for me. Dang it bc I really wanna see the town

That was a great trip. A bear and her cub walked through the middle of camp that night.

They need to put up road gard rails on this road so people do not go off the road.

"Skinwalker" Road....... Night drive?

Nossa que bosta

We used to go here often when i was a kid (my dad grew up by there) and I was telling my husband about this crazy road. I think he thought that I was exaggerating. I can't wait to show him this! Thanks for posting it.

So, about how long does it take to drive the road?

nice video.

Ouch in the couch

how long does the entire trail take? thinking of taking my f150 out there and camping if possible. thanks!! good video series!
