Take a quiet but beautiful drive along U.S. Route 550 from Durango, Colorado to the New Mexico state line. This 16-mile route winds through high desert plateaus, quiet ranchlands, and the southern edge of the San Juan Basin.
🌾 Farmland
Drive past working farms, silos, and open agricultural land with the Farmland tag—capturing the rural fabric of the country.
The 🌾 Farmland tag identifies routes that pass through active agricultural areas, where fields, silos, barns, and tractors are common sights. These roads often wind through rural communities and showcase the day-to-day life of America’s working landscapes—whether it’s rows of corn, wheat, soybeans, or pastureland dotted with livestock.
Travelers on farmland-tagged routes can expect a slower pace and a direct look at the country’s agricultural backbone. These drives frequently intersect with small towns, local markets, and seasonal roadside stands offering fresh produce or handmade goods.
