New Mexico is FULL of Adventure! With 310 days of sunshine, Albuquerque is perfect for outdoor activities including biking, skiing, and hiking. The incomparable weather and scenery also make Albuquerque the hot air ballooning capital of the world! Diverse cultures, authentic art, and dynamic traditions have shaped the vibrant city. Venture further North and you’ll hit the mountain town of Taos, which is routinely found on “best of” lists for its culture, tradition, and adventure. Home to a world-class ski resort, a World Heritage Site, and majestic landscape, Taos has become the Soul of the Southwest and a destination for distinctive cuisine, a thriving music scene, and (of course) natural beauty. Whether your idea of fun means cruising down iconic Route 66, soaking in a beautifully painted sunset, skiing the slopes of Sandia Peak, or playing a round of golf, New Mexico is a desert oasis of fun.
