Best Attractions In New Mexico

There are lots of things to do in New Mexico. The main reason why I created this list is to show you all the best places in the state that you might love. I also recommend making a video of these places so the whole world would know.
The Top Ten
1 Carlsbad Caverns

Carlsbad Caverns is fun. There are lots of bats there (no vampire ones if you are wondering) that fly out of the cave every summer. It is amazing! If you go there, you will probably have so much fun that you will want to make a video of it and get at least 250,000 views with 750 likes!

There is even a campground there. If you want to go shopping, you can go to nearby Carlsbad, NM, to get a few things if you sleep at the campground. But anyway, Carlsbad Caverns is fun.

2 Santa Fe

Santa Fe is a neat, cultural city. There are many restaurants, stores, museums, concerts, and lots of other great places. If you moved here, you would probably love it a lot!

There are the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east if you want to hike there. I heard there are operas that my grandparents love. We are planning on moving here or to Las Cruces, whichever one my mom gets a job in. But anyway, Santa Fe has so many fun things to do, just like Albuquerque and Las Cruces.

3 Roswell UFO Museum

The UFO crash. The museum is so fun. You can walk around, view the alien that crash-landed there, and get a glimpse of what happened in the 1947 UFO crash. You will probably like it, and when you record a video of it on YouTube, you could probably get about 100,000 views with 200 likes. Great for the whole family.

If you come here, what would you think of it? You can find out more about the UFO and what caused it to crash and just basically enjoy it.

4 Chaco Canyon National Monument

This canyon is big, awesome, and has great hiking trails. If you come here, you will probably want to hike around it again. You can see all the orange dirt, green grass, and mountains by your side. It might be a little tricky to get to, but I'm sure you can find it. It's great for the whole family to walk on.

There are some animals here, but they are very friendly. If you bring your camera, you could record a video of it on YouTube and get about 200,000 views with 400 likes.

5 Bottomless State Park
6 Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument

The cliff dwellings offer a beautiful glimpse of the rocks, and you might enjoy it a lot. This is one of the best attractions in New Mexico because it shows marks from people who were there about 500 years ago. The marks are so cool. You can touch them with one finger, but please don't draw on them, or you could get into trouble.

I recommend making a video of it on YouTube. You could get about 300,000-500,000 views with 1,000-5,000 likes. You would probably enjoy it too. The marks and paintings on the rocks are beautiful.

7 White Sands National Monument

White Sands is fun. You get to slide down a big hill of white sand, which is exciting. I recommend making a video at White Sands National Monument to post on YouTube. You might even get 1,000,000 views with 80,000 likes!

When I went a few years ago, it was a blast. We slid down the dunes, got covered in sand, and just loved it. The white sand with the Sacramento Mountains in the east and the San Andreas Mountains along with the Organ Mountains in the west is so beautiful.

As I mentioned, I recommend making a video of White Sands National Monument to show everyone in the U.S. its beauty. If you're wondering where it is, it's located near Alamogordo, NM. Look it up on Google Maps!

8 Hot Springs Hotel and Springs
9 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

This is an awesome sight when you are in Albuquerque in October. You can view lots of amazing hot air balloons flying over the city of Albuquerque and get a good view of New Mexico. If you come here, you should always bring your camera and record a video of it. You might get about 500,000 views on YouTube with 10,000 likes.

This is an awesome sight, but unfortunately, it only happens in October every year. So if it is October, you should visit Albuquerque and see the hot air balloons take off.

10 Sandia Peak Tramway

Another awesome sight! If you go there, you can ride in the tramway and get an amazing view of the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque. When you get to the top, you get an awesome view of Albuquerque and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the northeast.

Record a video of this on YouTube, and you might eventually get 350,000 views with 1,000 likes! I went there with my 4th-grade class last year, and it was so fun that I wanted to go back with my family. We got an awesome view of the Sandias. There was even an airplane that crash-landed there a long time ago.

The Contenders
11 Elephant Butte Lake
12 Catwalk Near Gila National Forest

I went here with my 3rd-grade class two years ago, and it was fun! We hiked on a trail, walked over about five bridges, and had a blast. There are also hot springs and the Gila Cliff Dwellings nearby. There's a campground too. We went in May, so it was pretty warm, but it was so cool!

As I said several times, you should make a video of this on YouTube so the whole U.S. can know about it. I think you would get about 175,000 views with 400 likes. The mountains are also pretty. There is a river at the bottom, which makes a cool sound when you're walking next to it.

13 Shiprock
14 Capulin Volcano National Monument
15 Very Large Array (VLA)
16 4 Corners National Monument

New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. Standing right at the border. Doesn't that sound nice? You can walk around the four corners of the states and stand where you like. Probably your mom in Arizona, your dad in Colorado, your sibling in Utah, and yourself in New Mexico.

If you recorded a video of it on YouTube, you could probably get about 150,000 views with 200 likes. Lots of people like to go there, and it is also cool how there are basically four corners with New Mexico at the bottom right, Arizona at the bottom left, Colorado at the top right, and Utah at the top left.
