Borrego Pass, NM

Borrego Pass is a quiet Navajo community in northwestern New Mexico, tucked into the scenic high country of the Continental Divide along Navajo Route 48. Located between Crownpoint and Prewitt in McKinley County, the area first took shape around a trading post founded in 1927. Today, everyday life revolves around the local Borrego Pass School and the open road connecting families across the plateau. It is a peaceful, tight-knit rural area defined by wide-open desert skies, rugged terrain, and deep cultural roots.
