New Mexico Vacation Guide
New Mexico is probably one of the most unique destinations in terms of natural beauty out of the entire United States’ collection of states. From Carlsbad Caverns National Park to the majestic history and beauty of the Navajo Nation region, to places like Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Los Alamos, and the infamous Area 51 near Roswell, visitors will be incapable of taking it all in during just one trip. New Mexico simply begs for return visits over the course of several years because there is literally so much to see and do here that it just can’t be experienced all at once.
With a largely Hispanic culture dating back to the times when the region was a Spanish colony and then a Mexican colony until the 1840s and the Mexican war, the region also has a vast tapestry of Native American history and traditions dating back hundreds of years. The state is broken up into several regions, with each having its own unique aspect. For example, northwestern New Mexico is part of the Four Corners region of the country and contains some of the most unique geological formations in the nation, as well as being part of the Navajo Nation. Northeast New Mexico contains the Santa Fe Trail, the remnants of Route 66, and is the convergence of the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. The Rio Grande winds through the agricultural region of the state in the southwest, while the southeast portion of New Mexico is mostly desert, and the central and northern central are the most populated with Albuquerque and Santa Fe, as well as Taos.
As with most Midwestern portions of the United States, public transportation does not really exist. Getting around will require you to drive your own vehicle, but the views are breathtaking, regardless of which part of the state to be in. Bring a pair of hiking boots and a sense of adventure, because most of New Mexico’s beauty is off the beaten path, not in the cities.
