New Mexico’s landscapes are beautiful—please do your part to protect our outdoor spaces for future generations. When you spend time outside, take your trash with you. Carlsbad Caverns, the Wild West, ancient pueblos and the Santa Fe Trail are just a few of the reasons to visit New Mexico. Spicy food, turquoise jewelry and weaving are part of a strong American Indian culture that remains in mosaic New Mexico. Hiking, backpacking, and camping are popular in Gila National Forest.
