[@rgold02]

I really enjoyed your drive! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing Mr. Rusty. Goldie in Jacksonville Florida

[@TheHaleyWayLife]

Wow, what a beautiful drive! You should take the class B to that over look and have a picnic or even spend the night. Thanks for sharing Rusty!

[@jowilde3774]

This has been my favorite video so far. Thanks, Rusty!

[@TexasPegP]

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever made Rusty❤ Going up to ski Apache. Beautiful scenery! Hope you go there again this season 😊

[@ceimo856]

That switch back road gets really exciting during the snow season:)

[@mhpaget]

In the 1950s my parents used to make that drive in the middle of winter, to ski. It is wonderful to see this!

[@whiteelk427]

From windy point you see the capitans from there that holds neat history trivia. Great inspiration point though, easy on the breaks

[@rgold02]

Hi Mr. Rusty, This is one of my favorite videos that you have done. I love all of your videos. Thank you for sharing with us. It’s been a while since I’ve seen mountains. You made my day. Goldie in Jacksonville, Florida

[@watertakken]

A Paved road is a plus. I remember taking the road up to the Summit of Pikes Peak. It was Phenomenal.

[@truminellesimmons2603]

You should’ve went further to Ski Apache and rode the gondola up to the top top. Those are breathtaking views! You could see Alamogordo, Tularosa, white sands moment. 👍🏼 Then rode the zip line down. It’s the longest zip line in the world.😁 My tribe owns the ski resort. MESCALERO APACHE!!!! 👊🏼

[@rusty78609]

may do that...thanks!!!

[@ZEUStheKingGermanShepherd]

Wheres the entrance to this road ? Out by Inn of Mountain Gods ?

[@rusty78609]

[@rusty78609]

hi

[@BarbaraHennig-gj4rn]

You should try this road with ice and snow! Just to ski!!!

[@ahdz36]

I'm here in Ruidoso now and that's the farthest I drove. Didn't make it to Apache ski mountain because I was a chicken yellow belly. How far was I to the ski resort?

[@bl00dyc0tt3n]

i love ruidoso NM

[@svenjohnson2389]

Wow, beautiful view! Thanks for being so adventurous and sharing with us Rusty!

[@sanborns]

You are at the lower end of the Rocky Mountains. The Rockies end at Guadalupe/El Capitan Peaks in Texas

[@rusty78609]

interesting

[@simplymejourney998]

Good travel Rusty, beautiful view..

[@kendude8089]

I love Pine Trees

[@waynemaker2517]

Very nice drive Rusty!

[@funnylooking8218]

I've been there it's really nice sometimes I go there just for a ride. The Christmas lights are nice to see I drove all around there looking at the lights and cabins and deer on the streets and some of the lakes it was really fun . it's around 100 miles where I live not to far .

[@paddyotable]

The Oak Grove sign was amusing. A Mr. Oak must have owned the Grove at some point. :)

It's just a name.

[@tplugnickel]

Wow,, What a view!

[@christinestange4813]

Wow .... you did 'the climb!' Beautiful. 🌳🌲

[@shiftintohigh5564]

Cool beans👍👍👍👍 Neat overlook!!!!👍👍 Trees got hit by lightning? Small fire.🤔🤔

[@prestonmeeker5739]

shift intohigh ya there’s been a few fires here won took down are lake

[@melissa.3359]

I live in ruidoso so i always love these videos of how much visitors love the town.🧡🧡🧡

[@ritarichardson3881]

Beautiful volcanic landscape. What a climb!

[@ALICE88210]

did you chicken out and not make it up to the ski resort.....LOL ...so glad you went up as it's a beautiful drive and you can almost see Artesa's refinery at night. Hope you waved at the space station. My hubby said you were one brave guy.

[@VetNavy]

Rusty you definitely are a Texan who is use to the plains. If you were born and raised in the mountains what you just shared is a casual Sunday drive. Beautiful! Now that you have a second base of operation closer to greater geographic relief I hope you explore like this more. God Bless!

[@alicafk0res519]

Yo Vivo aqui ENTRE MAS VERDE MAS HERMOSO

[@nataliedarby702]

So pretty

[@kerrykerrybell]

So so beautiful Rusty, happy driving. Thank you 👍👍👍

[@nancyrussell1666]

My mother lived in this area in the 1930's. Interesting to see the towns and pines she talked so much about.

[@retiredandpreppingquilting2350]

You look like you got to the top of world. Beautiful drive. I got nervous on the curves. I felt like we were going to fall off. LOL Have a wonderful weekend.

[@RetireWithLess]

Holy mountains Batman!

[@9350mamamia]

I lived there all my life, it took your video for me to experience this and it'll be the only time I see Sierra Blanca from that view! I shall call you `Braveheart` ♡

[@rusty78609]

good name...thanks

[@amelie9664]

I live there

[@rusty78609]

[@loryslade8482]

[@ronaldwilson1653]

You definitely got some of the greatest videos out there online love all of them they're just out of this world would love to be doing some of that traveling with your St you seem like so much fun

[@tracyphillips3325]

Great beautiful driving video Rusty. New Mexico is full of wonderful scenery. Thanks for sharing my friend 👍

[@bconover55]

I was there a few weeks ago Rusty, just beautiful country

[@billg1527]

Those clouds in the video looked like you could almost touch them, great video Rusty, wish there was one of the drive down !!

[@DearClovis]

That's where I was born!

[@rusty78609]

good start

[@suziQue]

wow... thanks for the ride

[@jayshelton2765]

Go to the ski area! You're almost there! That is just the lookout!!

[@JamieMakin]

Amazing views from up there, it's like being in a small airplane. It reminds of the time I drove up Pikes Peak. Thanks for sharing!

[@lesliesmith5797]

Breathtaking and rugged, on top of the world 🌎. Thank you and drive safe.

[@clarkspacificadventures8066]

Beautiful drive, thanks Sir for bringing us along 👍

[@carolbenson6524]

I remember that drive from about 20 years ago. Went to horse racing too. Great time. Thanks for bringing back memories!!

[@isisamun-ra2479]

Beautiful countryside looked like you could reach out and grab a piece of the cloud!

[@kennethfillmoreCoolCatKen]

What do you do if you have a flat tire Rusty it's awefull narrow road

[@cindyb814]

This is soooo beautiful!

[@AlinaHuynhArt]

wow the road is just breathtakingly beautiful Rusty ;)

[@Kyleromancito]

See any turkeys ?

[@rusty78609]

human

[@ShiftGolf]

Brings back a great memory - crossing the US from California back to miami 1981 - I had to stop in Ruidosa to pick up a lady that I had dropped off there on the way to California to visit her friends - I drove over the mountians at night in my 1980 Z-28 camaro - I was riding above the clouds on a full moonlight night - it was the most incredible ride looking down at the clouds on the side of the road - there was no one else on the road and it was the most peaceful ride I think I had ever taken. Its like you never want to leave and just keep driving.

[@3generations393]

That was great Rusty-you made me laugh till I had tears!! Thanks

[@michaelcurtis8671]

Do you have an anti-sway bar on your trailer hitch ?

[@JimForeman]

Have you looked at Silver City, New Mexico? We hung around there for the better part of a week while we were living on the road and even considered settling there but finally decided it was just too far away from any services.

[@OutdoorsWithRon]

Just curious, what services are missing in or near Silver City? I've spent some time there and also am considering that has a home base one day.

[@JimForeman]

@@OutdoorsWithRon That would have been in 1989 and there was no airline service of any sort closer than a hundred miles in El Paso and that was basically commuter service. No hospital and the locals didn't have many good words for the few doctors there. Don't know how much it has changed since then.

[@OutdoorsWithRon]

@@JimForeman Oh, OK. Yep things have changed quite a bit since then. Air service is still problematic though...

[@RK-gj1vn]

Thanks Rusty!! Such beautiful views. 💜

[@williammurry7774]

I've been through Ruidoso many times, growing up in Roswell , N. Mexico, truly a beautiful place to visit!

[@bw1424]

I really enjoy your videos. I am taking care of my elderly mother at the moment but hope to have this kind of freedom someday in the future.

[@gramtravels8755]

Beautiful drive. I tried it one time but we turned around long before you did. The snow started getting heavier. Thank you for showing me what we missed. 👍

[@scottythompson940]

cool video talk rusty lol and driving your truck

[@lesliesmith5797]

New Mexico is an intriguing and beautiful state. Been there many times since I was a child and never tire of it.❤️

[@debra-vs]

My fear of heights is intense. This drive would have me white knuckled. Beautiful views, though!

[@wandathurman9428]

Thank you for your bravery. Now that was certainly a beautiful drive.😊👍👍👍👀👀👀👍🙄😮❤️❤️💎💎🙏

[@mariaavitia581]

Mi lugar favorito

[@amanda69]

I was born in Ruidoso NM. That road is really fun in the winter time snow packed, a little scary lol. I would go skiing every week in the winter. In the winter time they have the road closed going up after 4 p.m. or 4:30 so they can have both lanes open for people coming down the mountain, that's when you really see the crazy drivers. There are hardly any guardrails. When I see the road crew in other parts of New Mexico putting guard rails on barely even a little dip, I laugh and say why don't they go up to the ski run and put them up there, so they will be of good use. You know what I'm talking about! Haha. Have fun on your road trip:)

[@88dannyg]

I grew up in Artesia. Went up that mountain plenty of times while attending NMSU.

[@stanw909]

Not an " idiot " just ' Spacialy Challenged ' .

[@rusty78609]

for sure

[@Joe-vv8xl]

The windblown (but dead) trees at that scenic overlook were quite nice.

[@royrice8597]

Rusty, will take you up on that beer if you are there when I am!!! Roy, Ruidoso. Great videos!?!👍👍👍👍

[@jayshelton2765]

Go for it! It's beautiful. Don't turn around now!

[@mcimon91]

Wow! That was so cool! My toes tingled a couple of times when you'd go around a corner and it looked like there'd be no road left!

[@CarrieJo5916]

Beautiful views! Thank You Rusty for doing the hard part, driving up there and taking us along! 🙀👍🏼😻

[@artdogg50]

I'm definitely one of those people who would have chickened out halfway up there and turned around! Whoa Nelly! 🤣

[@joanketelby752]

Glad you're doing the driving. Lol.😊

[@stevekoger1106]

Damn! You found some mountains, son!

[@theresaclancy6091]

Thank you for sharing, it's beautiful!!

[@bw1424]

I finally found it on Ski Run RD HWY 532 ending at Windy Point Vista Google (96WP+95 Ruidoso, New Mexico)

[@julieochoa5342]

Beautiful drive! Mr. Rusty, thank you so much for bringing us along

[@Joe-vv8xl]

I liked the "you're welcome... IDIOT" part of this video.

[@rusty78609]

frustrating...

[@lizchilders4154]

If memory serves me, that road ends at the Ski section. So beautiful! I have found that higher elevations make me nauseous even though I increase my water intake. So, no skiing for me! Very interested in that campground further down the mountain though.

[@jamesortiz5388]

It's a nice ski run I've skied it a bunch. Now coming down that icy road there's crashes on almost every curve.

[@raysprague765]

That's a tough drive for a flat lander! How long did it take to get the cone out of your drivers seat? LMAO!

[@happycomfort3026]

Cool little road trip! I was wondering though what the sign said 🤔🙂

[@ICU8-12]

Me too!

[@jodellbertwell1270]

Heading to Ruidoso this weekend and your video made me want to leave right now! Loved it! Thanks for the inspiration. Ever need a driving partner? :-)

[@judyabernathy80]

The higher the mountain, the closer to God. Beautiful scenery!! Enjoy!❤️🐾💙

[@fnava2642]

Morning! Best comment ever!!! Had to save this! Have a good day!

[@dorianchriste8645]

OMG. This is my favorite mountain drive videos. Love the view. It would be fun to see the descent. Hauling down that mountain, with you white knuckling the steering wheel. Us sitting in the phone camera, staring out that windshield to the view... hollerin' "Wheeeeeeeeeeee!" Just joking. Thanks for the endless beauty, Amigo.

[@dorianchriste8645]

I think you're fearless. I'd be driving slow as heck from fear of that fall-off edge. It is gorgeous. What a view! Thanks for sharing this again.

[@ICU8-12]

Another one of Rusty's shortcuts?

[@garyjacobs2789]

Rode my superglide up pikes peak in 2017. Don't think i will do it again . Got about half sick coming down.

[@biglove2487]

Great video. Great place to take Trip. From CARRIZOZO

[@Freetikit]

Look at the damage from the past 🔥 🔥

[@travelhawk7895]

Everybody there is from Texas and they all drive Ram trucks, amazing.

[@dalepointer9312]

'Hell, let's do this,' is right! Light that candle, get that White House in the sky. Watch out for Sluggo, Mr. Bill. Note: the wife and I did go off the edge while pulling an RV. We rolled forever. 35 years-ago. Numerous injuries, but survived. Scars today. Life goes on, Captain. Set sail, let X rocket fly.

[@nanabettyg]

Im just amazed at the beautiful views, and no telephone poles or cell towers!

[@kysuzy2themax]

looks like there has been a fire there ???

[@terrymurphy4177]

Loven the drive

[@1tux2]

you will find the guru at the top of the mountains and he will tell you why you're there.🏂🏂🏂🏂ski down Rusty!!

[@kendude8089]

Gentlemanly of you to move your pickup truck so's Princess could open his door 😂

[@eileenmoore7725]

Rusty, you look like you could reach out with your hand and touch the cloud. So beautiful!
