Geronimo Trail Scenic Byway is a US National Scenic Byway commemorating Chiricahua Apache warrior Geronimo.[2] The road is also recognized by the New Mexico Department of Transportation as a scenic and historic byway.[3] The town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico lies at the center of this trail with a southern end at San Lorenzo, Grant County, New Mexico and a northern end at Beaverhead Ranger Station. The Federal Highway Administration gives the total length of this scenic road as 154.0 miles (247.8 km)*.[1] The trail incorporates several New Mexico state highways passing along Elephant Butte Dam, Elephant Butte Lake State Park, Black Range Mountains and the town of Chloride.[4] The trail is connected to the Trail of the Mountain Spirits Scenic Byway in the southwest and El Camino Real De Tierra Adentro in the northeast.[4][5][6]
