  6. The Jemez is one of my favorite day trips. From Corrales, it doesn't take long to get there. The area is visually stunning. The landscape changes dramatically every 10-15 minutes and there are an impressive assortment of things to see and do, depending on interests and time available. 😊

  7. At 11,973 feet above sea level, Sierra Blanca is the tallest peak in the Sacramento Mountains, with spectacular views of the lower peaks and the Tularosa Basin. From the peak you can see where the black lava flows of Valley of Fire stops right before the dunes of White Sands begins. Stark contrast.

    Most of the Sacramento Mountains are limestone. Sierra Blanca is the sole volcano.

  9. The Zuni Mountains have big, open meadows and forested slopes with peaks up to 9,256 feet. Loads of trails, lots of camping, and, typically, there aren't many people. The scenery is vastly different than the red sandstone visible from I-40...when there is rain, it is unexpectedly green. 😍

  10. High Road to Taos, south of Chimayó . The High Road is a 105-mile scenic byway between Santa Fe and Taos, winding through Spanish colonial villages like Trampas and Truchas, with historic adobe churches, artisan studios, and spectacular mountain views.

  11. This is a beautiful, relaxing stroll along the East Fork of the Jemez River, perfect area to look for wildflowers from June - September. The stream flows in a rocky canyon (popular with rock climbers) in a deep conifer forest. The stream meanders through a series of open meadows. The trail goes for about 2 miles before climbing out of the canyon in a series of switchbacks.

  13. The Valle Vidal is a 100,000-acre, high-elevation alpine basin in New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It is spectacular, from the winding oxbow ribbon of Rio Costilla to the vast, open valleys. Part of the Carson National Forest, the area serves as a crucial habitat for the state’s largest elk herd and offers year-round outdoor recreation, like hiking, camping, and fishing.
