December 5, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

With the majestic Organ Mountains to the east and the mighty Rio Grande to the west, Las Cruces stands as an oasis at the junction of the I-10 and I-25. New Mexico State University makes its home here, among fine art galleries, informative museums, a lively theater scene and high desert terrain. The sun almost always seems to be shining in Las Cruces, which enjoys on average 350 days of clear blue skies per year, making it the perfect base to explore the breathtaking surrounding area.

Corralitos Trail Rides

Reviewed By HollyJacob - Toledo, United States

We had a nice ride with Billy, it was his first ride in a year after dealing with some health problems. I feel honored that he saddled up and took us out! We rode to the a abandoned mines and petroglyphs. Nice easy relaxing ride. Horses were quiet and well behaved.

This course is a lot of fun. Definitely some challenging holes; however Eli, Cody & the rest of the staff are what make this course my favorite. Everyone is extremely friendly & actually go out of their way to make for a pleasurable experience. The opposite of NMSU.

Prehistoric Trackways National Monument

Reviewed By MisterPenguin - Powell, United States

The third Saturday of each month there is a guided hike that starts at 9 am at the parking lot. If you have never hiked Prehistoric Trackways before this is an excellent way to get an overview of the trails and what is there. There are 2 different hikes that rotate so worth going on both. Be aware that the trails are very rocky (suggest good ankle boots and hiking pole). You also climb about 300 feet in elevation so make sure you feel you are able to do this before joining the group hike. Our guide Colin (2/15/2020) was excellent and we learned a lot this past hike about the ancient history of the area. Note: many of the trails are shared trails (4-wheel, mountain bikes, hikers). There was also an event of 4-wheelers this Saturday so several time we had to wait for them to pass by.
