Interstate 25 (I-25) is a north–south Interstate Highway in central New Mexico and Colorado and eastern Wyoming in American Truck Simulator. It runs from Interstate 10 and US 180 in Las Cruces to Interstate 90 and US 87 in Buffalo, a distance of 1062 miles.

Course

Interstate 25 begins at its junction with Interstate 10 to the south of Las Cruces. The highway leaves Las Cruces after intersecting with US 70, and after passing a northbound Border Patrol station, it sets off up the arid Rio Grande Rift. North of north and southbound rest areas, the highway intersects with US 380 at its western terminus, and soon after passes through Socorro, where it meets US 60. The highway then crosses the Rio Grande and enters Albuquerque near Albuquerque International Sunport, runs to the east of downtown, and intersects with Interstate 40 at the Big I. With the Sandias to the east, the highway meets US 550 and curves eastward; here the commuter Rail Runner line begins running down the median of the highway. After a junction with NM 599, I-25 passes to the south of the state capital of Santa Fe, where US 84 begins running concurrent with the highway. Here the 25 curves south over Glorieta Pass, where the highway skirts the southern edge of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and soon afterward curves again to resume its northward route, where US 84 breaks from the highway. I-25 runs along the edge of the Great Plains with the Sangre de Cristos to the west, offering north and southbound rest areas. Travel services are provided where US 64 meets the highway, and shortly afterward Raton is reached. It's worth noting that, between Santa Fe and Trinidad, the highway follows the general course of the Santa Fe Trail, a mid-19th century wagon trail that connected a developing United States to Mexico (later New Mexico Territory).

Out of Raton the highway traverses Raton Pass, which, in its crossing of the Park Plateau, reaches the highway's highest point at 7834 feet. After a southbound weigh station, the highway enters Colorado, where, below Fishers Peak to the east, it passes a northbound weigh station and descends back into the Great Plains at Trinidad. From there to Walsenburg a concurrency is run with US 160, and after passing Stem Beach, in the shade of the Wet Mountains (a subrange of the Sangre de Cristos), the highway enters Pueblo, where it crosses paths with US 50 and the Arkansas River. The highway then rises to Colorado Springs, under the backdrop of the majestic Pikes Peak Massif, and, after intersecting with US 285 at its northern terminus, enters Denver. After passing to the west of downtown Denver, the highway intersects with Interstate 70 at the Mousetrap, and shortly thereafter with Interstate 76. Running along the edge of the Front Range, the highway soon reaches Loveland and US 34. After north and southbound weigh stations, the highway intersects with CO 14 to the east of Fort Collins and continues into Wyoming.

Upon crossing the state line, rest areas are offered at the Southeast Wyoming Welcome Center and port of entry weigh station. The highway then passes through Cheyenne, the state capital and largest city, where it intersects with Interstate 80. Out of Cheyenne, the highway sets off across the butte-studded High Plains, running parallel to the Laramie Mountains to the west; along this segment, a truck stop is offered at Chugwater, and additional services are available at Dwyer Junction (where US 26 joins the highway from Nebraska) and Orin (where US 20 also begins running concurrent with I-25, having also come from Nebraska). At Douglas, WY 59 intersects with the highway at its southern terminus, offering a direct route to Gillette, while the 25, having crossed the North Platte River, turns west. The 25 runs along the North Platte to Casper, where US 20 and 26 break away to the west and the freeway, having crossed the North Platte again, resumes its northward route. The 25 continues across the rugged plains past Kaycee (which features services) to Buffalo, where the highway terminates at its junction with Interstate 90.
