gogirl Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 We are planning to drive from Lakeside to Pueblo,Colorado in a few weeks. Can anyone tell me the safest border crossing to take? The most direct route takes you through Juarez. We don't really want to cross there. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobnliz Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Sure. It may be a bit out of your way, but we cross regularly at Nogales, Arizona on our way back from San Carlos on the Sea of Cortez. If you head from Guad to Tepic on the coast, you can take the scenic route up through Mazatlan and north. Pretty drive and good toll roads all the way. There are, of course, "Libre" routes you can use to circumvent the tolls if you so desire. From San Carlos it's about 350mi to Nogales. From there it's about 650mi to Chaffee County, so not too much different to Pueblo. Lizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeheron Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Santa Teresa is where we cross when we drive to Colorado. Not out of your way very much and safer than Juarez. There was a strong military presence along that route when we went NOB last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzanjo Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Last week I crossed at Columbia Bridge, near Larado. No problems. Lots of Federal police there now, and all felt safe. Waved right through. Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
