New Mexico is home to a diverse array of national and state parks that offer a wide range of recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. One of the most popular parks in the state is Carlsbad Caverns National Park, known for its stunning underground caves and unique rock formations. Visitors can explore the caverns on guided tours and witness the breathtaking beauty of stalactites and stalagmites. Another must-see park is White Sands National Park, where visitors can hike through the otherworldly landscape of gypsum sand dunes that stretch for miles. The park also offers opportunities for sledding down the dunes and stargazing under the dark night sky.
New Mexico is also home to several state parks that offer a more intimate outdoor experience. Elephant Butte State Park, located along the Rio Grande, is a popular spot for boating, fishing, and camping. Meanwhile, Cimarron Canyon State Park offers scenic hiking trails and opportunities for wildlife viewing in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. With over 30 state parks scattered across the state, there is no shortage of natural beauty to explore in New Mexico.
