New Mexico provided the location for The Greatest Road Trip Of All Time. When I was in West Texas performing a play, a few of my cast mates and I decided to go to Carlsbad Caverns. We then extended that idea to include White Sands and the UFO Museum in Roswell. The trick was that we only had one day off from the show, so we had 38 hours to do it in, and the driving alone was about 16 total actors.
Nonetheless, the Guadalupe Mountains were absolutely spectacular at dawn, and White Sands is gorgeous (go in the morning.) Carlsbad Caverns were breathtaking, and Roswell is just plain weird. So yeah. Go New Mexico!

Been out there in 1995, 1997, and 1998. Loved it. Would like to go back. However, it is a long time from now that I would be spending more than a day or two in NM.

I still maintain that it si the Gathering of nations that should not be missed.

I just found this thread. I moved to Albuquerque less than three months after it was around. Just thought I'd let you know that you're not the only Jatraquero here now.

Ahh, good to see people discussing areas at least near my college stomping grounds.
Though I am disheartened not to see someone mention Ruidoso / Cloudcroft. Both enjoyable mountain towns (well, one is more of a villiage), and they have some spectacular views over White Sands and the Trinity test site. And of course there's always the VLA to gawk at if you're driving through Soccoro.
Though the last trip through didn't involve fond memories... then again, any 16 hour drive which involves 14 hours of rain and snow wouldn't be viewed positively, no matter where it was going through.
