New Mexico

Land

In New Mexico, the landscapes are truly breathtaking. The natural beauty everywhere in the state has attracted photographers and artists for centuries. Ansel Adam's signature piece, "Moon over Hernandez," was photographed in northern New Mexico. Georgia O'Keeffe drew her inspiration from the land here.

But the New Mexico landscape isn't just for artists. From the mountains in the north to the desert in the south, campers, hikers, geologists, spelunkers, biologists, botanists, and picnickers come to New Mexico to play. You can hike, mountain bike, road bike, ride ATVs and horses, go off-highway, ski, skate, hunt, snowshoe, RV, climb and cave...In New Mexico, there is something for everybody.

Caving/Spelunking

Caving, also known as spelunking, is the underground explorer's adventure. Exploring the depths you can see the magnificent results of nature's work in progress—some caverns are eons in the making. Discover stalactites, stalagmites, bats and more. Spelunking opens an exotic, alien, hidden world. But make sure you bring a sweater as many caves often stay a nice chilly temperature all year round!

Caves

Carlsbad Caverns National Park
As you pass through the Chihuahuan Desert and Guadalupe Mountains of southeastern New Mexico and west Texas—filled with prickly pear, chollas, sotols and agaves—you might never guess there are more than 300 known caves beneath the surface. The caves formed in a fossil reef laid down by an inland sea 250 to 280 million years ago. The park contains 113 of these caves, formed when sulfuric acid dissolved the surrounding limestone, creating some of the largest caves in North America.
