  1. 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. 😍

  3. The Valle Vidal is a 100,000-acre mountain basin in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Geologically, there are two halves:
    sedimentary sandstone, grassy valleys, and coal resources on the east side (Raton Basin edge), and steeper, uplifted volcanic and metamorphic terrain, with a history of gold mining on the west side.

  7. 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.

  15. Located at the north end of the Tularosa Basin, Valley of Fires is one of the youngest lava flows in the continental U.S., 4-6 miles wide, 160 feet thick, covering 125 square miles. Little Black Peak erupted about 5000 years ago, with lava oozing 44 miles into the Tularosa Basin.

  21. Bandera Crater is a large cinder cone that erupted approximately 10,000 years ago, creating a 23-mile lava flow & a lava tube system that includes an ice cave. The ice cave is a collapsed lava tube with natural, perpetual ice, the oldest layers of which are over 3,400 years old.

  23. Located between Silver City and Deming, City of Rocks State Park is known for its large rock columns, that rise up to 40 feet. The boulders were formed by a large volcanic eruption about 34.9 million years ago.

  25. The cranes and geese have been heading north, but Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is a relaxing day trip throughout the year. Whereas the migratory birds visit yearly, there are ample opportunities to photography wildlife.

  27. The Gila National Forest has over three million acres of forested hills, majestic mountains, and range land. It is probably best known for its wilderness areas, in particular the Gila Wilderness - the first wilderness in the United States.
