With its rich culture, incredible scenery and just the right touch of campiness, New Mexico is more than deserving of a state-wide road trip.
Our dreamy itinerary starts with a look around Georgia O’Keeffe’s home in Abiquiu. Then, after a tour of Taos, head south to Santa Fe and Albuquerque for strong doses of artistic and culinary excellence and gorgeous natural views. Finish in Roswell, where you can achieve the guilty pleasure of visiting an alien-related tourist attraction at the International UFO Museum and Alien Research Center.
