Northeast New Mexico: Where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains

Experience the Land of the Working Cowboy in Northeast New Mexico. Explore its history and wide open spaces. You’ll find open grasslands and majestic mountains, rodeos and horseback riding, historic Wild West hotels and Route 66 motels, Civil War forts and battlefields, trout-filled rivers and wildlife refuges. You’ll feel the American West as it was in years past in wagon ruts along the Santa Fe Trail, dinosaur tracks by Clayton Lake, and in hidden ghost towns.
