onX Off Road shows a bunch of trails of various difficulty. I was looking forward to going out there (Cloudcroft/White Sands area) but had to cancel that trip. Looks beautiful.

I'm pretty sure you can download a map of forest service roads from their website.

Be aware that late August is rainy season for the area. You may find the roads to be a bit muddy.

Love to get out of Texas and go to Ruidoso and Red River. Wife and I try to get to either area every few months for a long weekend.

Oh, I'm very familiar with Hereford and the smell of money from there. We lived in Amarillo for a number of years before migrating south to Lubbock for work. It was nice to hop on I-40 and be in New Mexico in a few hours. It's not terrible now, but a little more work/planning to accomplish these days.
