New Mexico is a mix of desert and forest, volcanoes and ice caves, hot and cold, old and new. History buffs can visit the oldest church (San Miguel) and the longest continuously inhabited homes in the country (Taos Pueblo). Those seeking physical pursuits have their choice of skiing, hiking, camping, horseback-riding, white water rafting and more. Nature enthusiasts can visit one of several extinct volcanoes, lava fields, and even a 10,000 year-old ice cave, which stays a cool 31 degrees even when the outside temperature is in the 90s. Conspiracy theorists and UFO buffs can make their way to Roswell and meet up with like-minded travelers. And for a trip back in time, rent a convertible and top off a drive down vintage Route 66 with lunch at a drive-in burger joint. From trendy Santa Fe with its highbrow and historic hotels, shops and dining, to the woodsy and natural charm of Ojo Caliente with its rustic chic adobe cottages with private hot mineral springs, and all the varied terrain in between, New Mexico is a hidden gem with something for everyone.Wednesday, June 3, 2009

That's look amazing. Thanks for this, I just heard about it, but couldn't get a chance to see it.
Thanks, Hernandez. You should make it when you can-- it is well worth the view
