Visit New Mexico: go glamping

Visit New Mexico and go glamping in this southwestern U.S. state. New Mexico’s diverse landscapes include the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Chihuahuan Desert, providing a wide range of opportunities for outdoor activities and things to do. The capital city, Santa Fe, is a popular destination among tourists and locals know for its luxury spas and Spanish, colonial-era architecture. Here you can visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum which displays the artist’s most iconic New Mexican landscape paintings. From Santa Fe to Albuquerque, Las Cruces to Ruidoso, Carlsbad to Taos, New Mexico is home to many diverse and interesting cities. Get out of the cities and you’ll see the amazing outdoor landscapes the state has as well. From Santa Fe, you can easily reach the Taos Ski Valley and visit several landmark Native American cliff dwellings, like the Bandelier National Monument or the Taos Pueblo, circa 1000 A.D. South of Santa Fe is Albuquerque, a city that rests between the Rio Grande River and the Sandia Mountains. Albuquerque is home to a balloon festival each year that attracts visitors from all over the country and abroad. Farther south, the White Sands National Monument shows off dramatic white sand and gypsum dunes, while Carlsbad Caverns National Park has impressive underground limestone formations that you can tour. So, forget about Ruidoso hotels, Taos motels, Albuquerque motels, or other city lodgings, and go glamping in New Mexico!
