New Mexico's Playground
The northwest area of New Mexico is home to both the major winter playgrounds in the state and a significant portion of the Navajo Nation. You can also find the pueblos of Zuni, Acoma, and Laguna. The City of Gallup hosts the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial each year featuring traditional dances, Indian arts and foods, and celebrations. On Inscription Rock in El Morro National Monument, right off of Route 66, visitors can see signatures and drawings of Spanish conquistadors and American pioneers. Other natural wonders in the region include the Bandera Crater and Ice Caves, El Malpais national Monument, and the Bisti Badlands. With the Rocky Mountains creeping into the northern region of the state, winter sports lovers will not want to miss the opportunities found in the mountains. Ski Santa Fe, Angel Fire Resort Ski and Snowboard Area, Red River Ski Area, Pajarito Ski Mountain, and Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort are all known for exciting adventure, excellent powder, and great vacations. The top of the Rio Grande also enters New Mexico from Colorado in this region providing for boating, fishing, kayaking, and rafting. New Mexico gives visitors the experience of a lifetime from Old West outlaws to Native American history to outdoor fun and nature at its best. Visit New Mexico to see what you have been missing. |
