We usually head to Colorado, but we wanna try some time in New Mexico. I wanna see Taos, Billy the Kids grave, Los Alamos museum if it's worth it, maybe Roswell if it's worth it.
Any suggestions?

i've driven across it west to east. it wasn't a bad ride, but some say its boring. carlsbad caverns is worth seeing. flew into albuquerque and drove into southwest colorado enroute to mesa verde. and i've been to the 4 corners.
Carlsbad? That's food for thought.
Not really a whole lot there....great place if you like wide open spaces with no people or towns for miles and miles.
Carlsbad is cool if you're into caves...some awesome things to see.
Santa Fe and Taos if you're into artsy-fartsy kind of stuff.
There's the Indian reservations if you wanna buy fireworks or do some gambling.
Albuquirky is kinda cool when the hot-air balloons are in season.
A few tourist trap places like Roswell.......
Did I mention all the wide open spaces?
Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket???
We usually go to Ouray, Telluride, Gunnison etc...
Figured NM might be a good. Alternative.
Taos and Santa Fe would be the closest. They're actually kinda cool, especially Santa Fe if you've never been there before. Some of the best Mexican food you'll ever eat...not that Tex-Mex Crap.Originally Posted by Altarboy
If you like back in the mountains places then definitely go to Taos.
It's actually not a bad place to visit but a lot more lonely and quiet than Colorado....roughly the same size geographically but less than half the population. Make sure you fill up your gas tank when you have the chance if you're driving. It's sometimes a long stretch between towns.
It is a beautiful place and if you never been you won't be disappointed.

Well we are pumped. Who knows, could be the last vacation we ever get to have.
I see OPEC is dicking with gas supply again. Sigh
Not to worry. EV's will save the day. Think of all the places you'll be able to go without having to worry about that nasty old gasoline.
You'll be thanking Commucrats for that joy.

And think of all the great, out of the way places you'll be able to explore at length...given it will take you eight days to get there with recharging stops...

It depends on how much time you have. There isn't much at 4 Corners except the monument where you can lie down and be in 4 states at the same time. The problem is that it is in the opposite corner of the state from Carlsbad Caverns.
If you have been to Mesa Verde before, after 4 Corners, cross over into the Navajo Nation in AZ and go to Canyon de Chelly near Chinle, AZ.

i did some of that in1974. mesa verde, 4 corners, grand canyon, tombstone, carlsbad, on east from there. yes, it takes time to get around in those states. also, gas was a lot cheaper.
Lots of empty space.
Saw Billy the Kid's grave and got pics. Went to hang out in Roswell. Gonna do Carlsbad Caverns tomorrow.
