New Mexico

“Land of Enchantment” sums up the state’s deserts, mountains, forests, sand dunes, caverns, hot springs, and the mysterious Santa Rosa Blue Hole. Albuquerque’s annual Balloon Festival, Santa Fe’s art, Carlsbad Canyons National Park, White Sands National Park, and winter skiing in Taos attract visitors. New Mexico’s native American heritage is shown in Chaco Culture National Historical Park, Petroglyph National Monument, Gila Cave Dwellings National Monument, Bandelier National Monument’s ancient cave dwellings and petroglyphs as well as today’s Zuni Pueblo in western New Mexico.
