New Mexico State Road 68, or NM 68, is a 45.5 mi (73.2 km) long state highway in northern New Mexico, the Southwestern United States. State Road 68 is known as the "River Road to Taos", as its route follows the Rio Grande. A parallel route to the east is State Road 76, which is called the "High Road to Taos".
NM 68 begins in the south in Española at the road's junction with U.S. Route 285 and U.S. Route 84 which run concurrently at that point. The road then runs northeast through Alcalde, Velarde, Embudo, and Ranchos de Taos, where it meets the north end of New Mexico State Road 518, before reaching its northern terminus at U.S. Route 64 in Taos.
