Going Around Taos

Approaching the junction of NM 585 on eastbound US 64 southeast of Taos

NM 585 connects US 64 with NM 68, forming a bypass around Taos. You can make a triangular loop through much of the urbanized area of Taos by taking all three routes. This intersection is at the southeast corner of the triangle, looking east on US 64. The trailblazer indicates the way back to NM 68.

The official New Mexico route log also states that NM 585 was formerly known as the NM 68 Spur.
