Outlaws and Folklore in New Mexico
New Mexico doesn't just sizzle from the dry desert sunshine. This is chili country and the cuisine, which blends Mexican, Spanish and Native American, is famously spicy. A good place to start is the gorgeous capital, Santa Fe. Here, you'll find an intriguing blend of Spanish colonial and indigenous adobe architecture. After you've had your fill, you can drive out to stay in remote New Mexico vacation rentals which sit among mountain villages, ancient Indian Pueblos and cactus-studded deserts. Legends of outlaws and native folklore only add to this fascinating place, which feels like nowhere else in the U.S.
New Mexico desert hikes
One of the best ways to see New Mexico is from the seat of an open-top car, as you drive along the world's most famous road – Route 66. As you rev along this dusty road, flanked by desert and towering rock formations, you can imagine the brave souls who once used it to get out West during the gold rush. Along the way, you can pull off to hike along desert trails, take to the skies in one of the hot air balloon flights in Albuquerque, or spend a night under the starry New Mexico night sky.
States meet at New Mexico
The king of attractions in New Mexico is the Four Corners Monument, where, as the name suggests, you can hop across 4 different states which meet at the same point. The Candy Lady in Albuquerque might have only got big after making blue candy to look like Walter White's contraband in Breaking Bad, but she's been selling the good stuff to locals for years. If you've got big cojones, you can swing by Hatch, the so-called Chili Capital of the World, to try some famously hot fare. If not, the treasure trove of historic sites in pretty Santa Fe might be more your style.
No season is off limits in New Mexico
There's no season that's off limits in New Mexico. Summer sees the most sizzling temperatures and the biggest influx of travelers booking up New Mexico vacation rentals. Both spring and fall are arguably more comfortable, particularly if you're looking to hit the trails on foot or bike. With plenty of fall festivities, you're not going to be short of things to do if you visit between September and November. Winter nights get chilly, but the days can often be bright and sunny. If you don't mind wrapping up, you can score some rock-bottom deals on rentals.
New Mexico is an animal lover's paradise
Wildlife enthusiasts will surely nod approval at the sheer number of wildlife preserves which are easily accessible from your New Mexico vacation rental. Down at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, you'll find more than 32,000 snow geese and the winter grounds for 1,000s more sandhill cranes, who use it as a stopping point during their migration. If you're lucky enough to be near the Valles Caldera National Preserve, you'd better bring your camera, because you're not going to want to miss snapping pics of elk herds, black bears and elusive coyotes slinking around the Jemez Mountains.
