New Mexico is a pretty place
Most people think of New Mexico as a dry, barren wasteland. It's very difficult to appreciate the beauty of the harsh desert when you consider that to be classified a desert an area must receive less than 10 inches of annual rainfall. Further, it is easy to think of the dangers of living in such a place as a fierce boundary to the limits of human tolerance. With unscalable mountains topped with mystical cities in the clouds, large wasted areas populated by mysterious dark-skinned dwellers, and cities made of silver, New Mexico is a very pretty place.

New Mexico has trees
Unlike other deserts, New Mexico's deserts are home to several large forests, including the Lincoln National Forest. From any ghost town in the state you can travel for a maximum of 30 minutes to reach the beautiful peaks that make up the southernmost point of the fabled Rocky Mountains. In our great history, pioneers once traveled this land in wagons and on horseback, and later by railroad, to settle this land and make its treacherous cliffs accessible. Now, in our modern wilderness, we can enjoy the beauty of the forests of New Mexico. At the base of the mountains, we are still pioneers rationing water and converting sands to farmland. At the top of the mountains, we are tree dwellers skiing the slopes for fun and pleasure.

New Mexico--Captured!
