La Frontera del Llano Byway
New Mexico Scenic Byway 94 mi in New Mexico.
About the La Frontera del Llano Byway
The northern part of the byway runs through the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands, a unit of the Cibola National Forest. Driving south through the grasslands, you encounter the small town of Roy, once home to the Dawson Railroad. The byway is adorned with a number of beautiful little mission churches. Like a string of pearls, they stretch from Solano to Gallegos. The byway ends in Logan, best known for Ute Lake State Park on the Canadian River . Its recreational opportunities - camping, boating, picnicking, and fishing - are inviting excuses to linger awhile.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
