- Comment: Long Ridge is an easy 2 rated route off the West Side Road via the Burleson Ridge Road with the same vehicle requirements as West Side Road. It takes you to the ridge with all the antennas on it. It has a world class view of Alamogordo and the Tularosa Basin at the top. Some rocky stretches.
