New Mexico, Earth, may not be "the best place in the universe" but it is an especially nice place to live and/or visit. The State's new advertising campaign with aliens playing golf in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains or fishing in a stream is very clever, but I still want to know how they get their pants on over their tails. There are also many other interesting things to do and see but you must be willing to drive long distances. The General Tips include suggested itineraries from forum replies. See also my Albuquerque tips and travelogues for western and southern New Mexico, as well as trips from Albuquerque to Arizona, Colorado and Nevada. |
|  | Craggy Mountains These mountains to the east of Albuquerque are named "sandia" after the watermelon color they show at sunset. This is the west side (facing Albuquerque). The east side has evergreen forests. Much of New Mexico is like this, i.e., when you gain a little altitude, you get cooler weather and trees. |
| | Maybe Short Gray Beings Most people hear about New Mexico via Santa Fe or the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. However, Roswell is also famous in its own way. See my off the beaten path tips below for more details about Roswell. |
