Route description

NM 96 begins at a T intersection with US 550 just south of the census-designated place of La Jara. From its western terminus, NM 95 proceeds north for roughly to pass through La Jara and reach Old Highway 95 at a T intersection on the southern edge of the CDP of Regina..
Just north of Regina, NM 96 connects with the west end of NM 595 at T intersection. Almost exactly north of the NM 595 junction, NM 96 reaches the south end of New Mexico State Road 112 at T intersection.
From its junction with NM 112, NM 95 proceeds easterly for approximately to pass through the CDP of Gallina, the unincorporated community of Arroyo Del Agua, and the CDPs of Coyote and Youngsville before reaching the southern edge of the Abiquiu Reservoir. As it curves around the south end of the reservoir NM 96 crosses the Rio Chama on the Abiquiu Dam, before continuing northeasterly to reach US 84 at its eastern terminus at a T intersection.
