Lazs I took my first trip to NM 2 years ago, and was blown away. Plan to go back next year for a longer trip. We have been seriously talking about moving there.
I grew up hunting,fishing,floating,camping, ect., all over the Ozarks, and neighboring states. Never thought I would want to be any other place than this area. I may have been wrong. So be careful if you go to New Mexico!
Started in Albuquerque. Nice for a large city, and the old downtown area was great. Santa Fe after that. Very beautiful and interesting, and I wanted to spend more time there. But the land and real estate prices were nuts.
The last area was the Pecos River area. Wide open spaces, outdoor lovers paradise. This will be my first destination on the next trip.
The climate was also very nice, and some of the best food I have tasted.
