There is something magical about the southwest.

Every time you visit the area it has the power to reset you. Every time you visit you find something more enchanting than the last adventure there. Is it the weather, the rich Native history, the scenic diversity that gives off the energy of a place unseen before?

New Mexico is a vast array of mesas, mountains, forests and the most beautiful sunrises + sunsets ever seen. 300 days of sunshine annually makes anytime a fine time to travel to the enchanted land.

Small towns and back roads bring to life adobe and turquoise, red rocks and blue skies. As the sun falls to sunset, the coyotes sing on the mesa as the largest display of stars you’ve ever seen light up the desert sky at night. A Billion Star Motel.

Artistic inspiration is everywhere to take in whether on a leisurely walk through a small town or pulling over on a canyon drive and finding a hidden artisian village. The Turquoise Trail connects old mines and ghost towns highlighting the state’s treasured stone which is adorned on the people and the places you go throughout the state. A thriving Earthship community is building the sustainable city of the future that allows people to live off the grid.

“When I got to New Mexico that was mine. As soon as I saw it that was my country. I’d never seen anything like it before, but it fitted to me exactly. Its something that’s in the air — it’s different. The sky is different, the wind is different. I shouldn’t say too much about it because other people may be interested and I don’t want them interested.”
