You & me + New Mexico?! 😍🌵

👇 Bucket List Las Cruces Itinerary👇 

📍These are the places in and around @VisitLasCruces that you need to add to your New Mexico bucket list…#sponsored

🏜️ White Sands National Park 

Walk across a surreal landscape of brilliant white gypsum sand dunes stretching for miles. From hiking through the dunes to watching the sunset turn the landscape golden, this is one of the most unique places we’ve ever explored.

🏔️ Organ Mountains 

Just outside Las Cruces, the dramatic Organ Mountains rise from the desert and offer incredible hiking, rugged landscapes, panoramic views, and some of the most beautiful scenery in southern New Mexico.

🥾 Slot Canyon Hiking 

Explore the rugged desert surrounding the Organ Mountains and hike through narrow slot canyons carved into the landscape. It’s an incredible way to experience a side of New Mexico that feels completely untouched.

🌵 Dripping Springs 

Hike through the foothills of the Organ Mountains while exploring the remains of a historic mountain resort and taking in sweeping views across the Chihuahuan Desert.

🌄 Take in sweeping views across the Chihuahuan Desert and Mesilla Valley from one of the most scenic overlooks around the Organ Mountains at the I-10 Scenic Overlook Rest Area. With the rugged peaks rising dramatically from the desert below it’s an especially beautiful spot around sunrise or sunset. 

🎈Watch colorful hot air balloons rise over the surreal white gypsum dunes of White Sands during this annual Southern New Mexico tradition. 

🌵 Las Cruces is the perfect base for exploring some of southern New Mexico’s most incredible landscapes, historic sites, hiking trails, and hidden gems.

🇺🇸 Save this for your future New Mexico road trip and don’t skip Las Cruces!
