"New Mexico?? Isn't that another country? I heard that place is nothing but hot, dry desert! Why would anybody wanna go there?"
There are lots of misconceptions people have about "The Land Of Enchantment" - including these - even from people who have "been there"! Because of the low population density, interstate routes that bypass most scenic areas, and a lack of publicity, few people are aware of these important facts:
- Year-round mild climates exist throughout the state, because of 7 different temperate zones - hey, where else can you enjoy a barbeque in your T-shirt in February, then drive for an hour to build snow men with the kids?
- More than 45% of the land in New Mexico is PUBLIC LAND. It belongs to YOU, instead of some farmer or corporation. Because of this fact, your favorite outdoor playground is often practically in your "backyard". Tired of playing in a half-acre lot that they call a "Park" out East? Come to our state to enjoy camping, 4-wheeling, mountain biking, or any other outdoor sport, on a par most states can't even approach.
- Nothing but desert? New Mexico has over 9 MILLION ACRES of trees spread over 5 different National forests. We also have 2 huge National Grasslands. And lakes. And rivers. And we got mountains....LOTS of mountains....
- New Mexico is a fisherman's paradise, with dozens of reservoirs, lakes, and rivers that can be enjoyed year-round. And get this: you can actually EAT the fish, unlike a lot of more environmentally-unsound states we won't mention! Hunters also have it made with everything from magnificent Elk to exotic African Oryx & Ibex, or challenging Havelina boars...
- There's lots to see and do, from shopping outlets to amusement parks to museums to casinos to zoos, and don't forget the best Mexican food you can find...
- and much more....
