Tucumcari Mountain
Tucumcari Mountain is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 1.514m (4,967ft) above the sea level, located in Quay County, New Mexico, United States.
Located three miles south of the town of Tucumcari, the road to the summit is gravel, rocky and treacherous in parts. It’s called S Mountain Road. Weather conditions can change quickly and be harsh. Road closures can be frequent. Only travel on this road when it is dry. A cartoon version of this mountain appears in Cars with 'RS' (for Radiator Springs) substituted for Tucumcari's 'T’.
4wd vehicle required. The peak is also known as Tucumcari Peak or Mesa Tucumcari. As always, check road conditions before departing. At the summit are several radio and cell towers.
