Where to Go

Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway
Imagine being higher than the airplanes landing at Albuquerque International Airport? Ascend 4,000 feet in about 15 minutes along the western face of the Sandia Mountains. Through the glass walls of the cable car, passengers have been known to see eagles, mule deer, or even black bears. The engineering marvel carries 50 people at a time and travel on two 100,000-pound track cables, each stronger than what would be required to support a car. Once you reach the top, you should be able to see over 11,000 square miles of our state. Look west across the Rio Grande, and you’ll see Mount Taylor more than 70 miles away. To the north and west is Redondo Peak in the Jemez Mountains, rising from a caldera known as the Valle Grande, a volcanic crater said to be the largest in the world. On the far eastern horizon, you’ll see the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Santa Fe. To the south are the Manzano Mountains. The ride down is just as fun.

Billy the Kid Museum
While all regions would like to claim Billy the Kid as their outlaw, Lincoln County is widely known as “Billy the Kid Country.” Though he rests safely underground at the Fort Sumner Military Cemetary in Fort Sumner, his legend is alive and well at the Billy the Kid Museum. Here you’ll find 60,000 relics of the historic past, including Billy the Kid’s rifle, chaps and spurs, the original Wanted poster, and even locks of his hair! Items of early 20th century life are also on display – check out the horse-drawn hearse and the homestead cabin exhibit. If it’s take-home paraphernalia you want, they’ve got you covered - T-shirts with Billy the Kid on the front and his tombstone on the back, postcards, posters, books, and even the Billy the Kid WANTED and funeral posters. Make sure to visit his gravesite – he’s buried just a few steps away. His tombstone has been stolen three times since the 1940s, so it’s enclosed by a metal cage, but you can easily confirm that he’s under the ground!

Carlsbad Caverns National Park
Take a tour in the comfortable 56-degree climate and behold Carlsbad Caverns' bizarre formations - stalactites and stalagmites - borne out of the earth's own vibrant imagination. The creation of the caves began some 250 million years ago, when the region was part of a vast inland sea. The caves weren't occupied until 1,000 years ago, when paleo-Indians first sought refuge there. Visitors today can enjoy self-guided or guided tours, backcountry explorations and camping, and more.

The park contains more than 100 known caves, including Lechuguilla Cave - the nation's deepest limestone cave (1,567 feet) and third longest. You can't miss The Big Room, eight football fields big. There are self-guided and ranger-guided tours. Reservations are recommended for the following excursions: Kings Palace, Left Hand Tunnel, Slaughter Canyon Cave, Lower Cave, Spider Cave, and Hall of the White Giant.

Expect ladder climbs, pool crossings, tight crawls, and free climbing. Oh, and bats - at dusk between May and October, you can witness a mass hatch as 300,000 of the Mexican freetailers exit the cave!

International UFO Museum, Roswell
Famous for what is now known as the Roswell Incident, the town of Roswell hosts an annual UFO festival and the International UFO Museum and Research Center where you can decide for yourself about the flying saucer that allegedly crashed here in 1947. Whatever you decide, you’re likely to be intrigued by the many exhibits and programs about the crash itself and the phenomenon of UFO research. Opened in 1991, the Museum and Research Center shortly thereafter earned 1996’s “Top Tourist Destination of New Mexico.” Each room in the Museum has been designed to bring back the feeling of 1947 – a newsroom, a government “cover-up” room, and also a room dedicated to providing information about “sightings” in general. The Research Center offers books, records, and other research materials galore. On the board of the Museum and Research Center are nuclear physicists, the best-known and most influential UFO expert in North America, documentarians of strange phenomena, and one of the world's leading experts on the Roswell UFO events of 1947. With these heavyweights, you gotta start believing!

Santa Fe
Evidence of our 400-year-old history is everywhere. Just a short walk through the historic downtown Plaza area will take you to the oldest public building in the nation - the Palace of the Governors – and the oldest church in North America – the San Miguel Mission. It’s also home to the nation's oldest community celebration - the Santa Fe Fiesta, established in 1712 to commemorate the Spaniard’s re-occupation of New Mexico in 1692. The city continues to preserve its historic buildings and mandates new construction in the distinctive Spanish-Pueblo style of architecture that’s based on the adobe (mud and straw) and wood of the past.

Hot Springs

When the Spanish explorers of the 15th and 16th centuries stumbled across New Mexico's natural hot springs, they discovered the healing properties that the Native Americans had known about for centuries. Some claimed they'd found the Fountain of Youth, while others believed they'd come across a cure for syphilis.

Modern-day soakers know that, exaggerated claims aside, the mineralized waters that swirl up and down the Rio Grande and other waterways provide health benefits beyond mere relaxation. Explore the riverbanks long enough and you'll come across any number of natural springs. But for those who don't have the time to search, there are a handful of funky, old-style spas within easy reach of Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos where you can enjoy the same invigorating experience that revived the weary travelers of yesteryear.

Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs, 40 minutes north of Santa Fe, comprises several mineral pools: iron, sodium, lithium, sulfur, and arsenic (yes, it's healthy!). No need to feel self-conscious about revealing your cellulite or spare tire at this low-key spa-it's intentionally short on glamour, which is a plus when all you want is a soak, a salt rub, and a body wrap in a serene but powerful setting.

On the other side of the Jemez Mountains in the town of Jemez Springs, the eponymous spa has an unpretentious bathhouse more than 100 years old that offers a similar no-frills experience amid the mountain pines. Naturally occurring minerals include acid carbonate, aluminum, calcium, chloride, iron, magnesium, potassium, silicate, sodium, and sulfate. You can also get massages, manicures, and other treatments.

South of Albuquerque, more new-age amenities are being added to the traditional offerings at the hot springs of Truth or Consequences. Choose among five natural mineral pools and a roster of massages, wraps, cranial-sacral therapy, and reflexology.

All of these spas provide accommodations for those seeking a lengthier immersion.
