What are the best things to do in New Mexico?

I recently moved to Denver, and my new group of friends raves about how great New Mexico is. I’m a freelance graphic designer, so I can work from anywhere. I’m thinking about taking a month to journey around the state, but I’m not sure where to go. What are some of the best things to do in New Mexico?

New Mexico
garners rave reviews from most of the 37.5 million visitors it has each year. The reason behind its praise ranges from history to natural landscape to the Old West vibe. So don’t approach the state with apprehension. Instead, check out some of these best things to do in New Mexico:
  • Go to White Sands National Park. As one of the only gypsum-sand deserts in the world, the white sands look like they were taken from a tropical paradise and dumped in the middle of New Mexico.
  • Visit Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Located beneath the Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico, this national park has over 100 majestic subterranean lairs.
  • Head to Roswell. If you love the weird or you have an affinity for UFOs, this alien-themed city pays homage to the supposed UFO crash that occurred near the area in 1947.
While New Mexico has three major cities, the rest of the state is fairly remote. So if you’re going to venture around the state for a month, adding
