NEW MEXICO
09-new-mexico-loc-tr-agc3
NEW MEXICO IS CALLED THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT for a reason, and you’ll find out why as you drive through the technicolor landscapes that inspired Georgia O’Keeffe, past traditional adobe villages tucked beneath the 13,000ft Sangre de Cristo range and over juniper-speckled plains that seem to roll to infinity. Along the way you’ll stop at old mud-brick santuarios filled with sacred folk art, visit ancient and living pueblos, explore surreal underground caverns and soak in soothing hot springs.
You’ll travel what might be the oldest road in America and follow in the footsteps of Geronimo and Billy the Kid. You’re never far from great hiking and camping – or platters of local cuisine smothered in the state’s signature green or red chile sauce.
