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

[@clarkspacificadventures8066]

Beautiful drive, thanks Sir for bringing us along 👍

[@eileenmoore7725]

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

[@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!

[@TheSassy777]

On a Drive with Rusty’s Rangers. Beautiful part of New Mexico and Good buddy Rusty is showing us the view.....Now we set back and watch the view. Later Rusty is going to do a MOON WALK.....Thanks 👍👍👍👍

[@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!

[@derekwilson8432]

Your videos are surprisingly relaxing. I hope im as cool as you when i reach your age!

[@mhpaget]

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

[@lesliesmith5797]

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

[@rgold02]

Thank you for sharing, it's beautiful!!

[@julieochoa5342]

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

[@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!

[@billg1527]

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

[@susanboggs1612]

Your on the highway to heaven! Beautiful! Be careful!!.

[@kendude8089]

I love Pine Trees

[@tracyphillips3325]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@joansommerfield8419]

Always enjoy your road trips. Wish you had included the return journey down the mountain as well. You don’t even have to talk much and it is still a refreshing experience. Very relaxing and beautiful. Will be watching this a few more times.

[@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.

[@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.

[@melissa.3359]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

I’ll tell ya Rusty you sure visit some pretty countryside, very crisp and clear , thank you for the ride along .

[@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. 👍

[@otherbrother3]

Well Rusty, you may not know where you went to, but it looks like a good place to be. Plus you made good time.

[@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!

[@stevekoger1106]

Damn! You found some mountains, son!

[@carolbenson6524]

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

[@nancyrussell1666]

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

[@williammurry7774]

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

[@resolutionsfulfilledtv7494]

Very nice scenic drive. I live in flat boring Florida. Thanks for sharing!

[@ritarichardson3881]

Beautiful volcanic landscape. What a climb!

[@whiteelk427]

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

[@scottythompson940]

cool video talk rusty lol and driving your truck

[@ceimo856]

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

[@dawoodalhendal373]

waw nice to move up . i was in this place in 1995 .1997 when i was el paso in ft bliss staying 2 yrs with army . i love ruidoso

[@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!

[@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.

[@marygambill3962]

Rusty, I'm nervous 😟 just watching you climb this mountain. Reminds me of my trip through the Blue Ridge Mountains. I was 20 at the time and thought it was beautiful but was as nervous as a cat in a room full of rockers. I'm 70 now and couldn't do it again. Enjoy.

[@buzjake]

The only time I went up Ski Apache was in 2001. It was raining like crazy. Definitely the most intense drive I ever took. I read elevation is over 11000 ft.

[@ChattyAss]

Very nice thank you for sharing

[@jesssalinas3242]

Beautiful view thanks .i live in the city so this is much appreciated to be able to go with, on one of ur drives 🤗⛰

[@waynemaker2517]

Very nice drive Rusty!

[@RK-gj1vn]

Thanks Rusty!! Such beautiful views. 💜

[@bconover55]

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

[@sarahmetzgar]

The drive to Sandia Crest is also breathtaking!

[@svenjohnson2389]

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

[@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!!!

[@RetireWithLess]

Holy mountains Batman!

[@3generations393]

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

[@CarrieJo5916]

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

[@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

[@travelhawk7895]

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

[@tplugnickel]

Wow,, What a view!

[@AlinaHuynhArt]

wow the road is just breathtakingly beautiful Rusty ;)

[@bw1424]

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

[@onrycodger]

I think I seen the space station dart behind that cloud at the lookout!

[@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

[@simplymejourney998]

Good travel Rusty, beautiful view..

[@kendude8089]

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

[@nataliedarby702]

So pretty

[@ChattyAss]

Good morning kind sir hope you have a fantastic day

[@kerrykerrybell]

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

[@OutdoorsWithRon]

Wow, they have had a fierce forest fire up there. That drive used to be through a very thick forest all the way to Ski Apache... Looks like 80-90% of the trees are gone.

[@bobspamail]

I was wondering about that. I remember years ago hearing about forest fires in NM. It takes years to recover.

[@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

[@christinestange4813]

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

[@sanborns]

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

[@rusty78609]

interesting

[@biglove2487]

Great video. Great place to take Trip. From CARRIZOZO

[@cindyb814]

This is soooo beautiful!

[@Joe-vv8xl]

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

[@jayshelton2765]

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

[@royrice8597]

Rusty, Welcome to the “Land of Enchantment”...."

[@ICU8-12]

FIRST! WOOHOO! I'M FIRST!

[@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.

[@paddyotable]

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

It's just a name.

[@ICU8-12]

Another one of Rusty's shortcuts?

[@bl00dyc0tt3n]

i love ruidoso NM

[@BarbaraHennig-gj4rn]

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

[@isisamun-ra2479]

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

[@debra-vs]

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

[@terrymurphy4177]

Loven the drive

[@jayshelton2765]

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

[@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.

[@doingitwithnothing]

Yep I sure not want be that road builder... just wondering how long ago it was built...

[@jayshelton2765]

Notice...no guard rails! I live down the mountain in Roswell, N.M. We still have beautiful skies and mountains. You are headed to the ski Apache. Looking to the right is Roswell and way in the distance is Texas. Sister Jay

[@jazzman5598]

I'm jealous 😵😭👍, lol!

[@Freetikit]

Look at the damage from the past 🔥 🔥

[@royrice8597]

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

[@alicafk0res519]

Yo Vivo aqui ENTRE MAS VERDE MAS HERMOSO

[@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? :-)

[@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.
