I just shared this. I think it is the best short video of the best of New Mexico. I've lived here since 1974 and love it. Thanks for posting this great travelogue.
Great video! Like many others, I think New Mexico is the countries best kept secret! If you come with the right mind set it will cleanse your soul and renew your spirit in a way that gives you what you need to face the daily grind of life. My family lived in Albuquerque when I was 5 years old and I’ve never forgotten the experience and the impression it left on my heart all these years. I’ll be retiring soon and plan on returning for good. Keep the videos coming!
Really enjoyed the video. So refresh ing when someone talks during their video, explaining things through the video, and really goes to the places n video. So many videos are just drones flying over areas or somewhere driving on the road or no one talking or saying anything. Often makes me think they didn’t even go to the places that are talking about. I guess I’m just old fashion but I want more than drones and photography.
Great video. New Mexico is our favorite state for multiple reasons. We road trip out there from Florida. There is so much to see and do without the crowds. The night skies are incredible compared to the southeast. A few other places I'd recommend are Cimarron Canyon, Eagle Nest, Red River and Capulin Volcano.
Yes!! My family is heading to Santa Fe in a month and this was really fun to watch. I’ve been to Bandolier National Monument once about 7 years ago, but I still remember how exciting the trip was. My favorite sections of this video would definitely be the petroglyphs and the rattlesnake museum. Very informative and interesting!
Beautiful editing and great suggestions! I lived in Los Lunas, NM back in 1985/86 as a child and was in awe of it. I have an Aunt that lives in Albuquerque still and I’m working to convince my family to make it our next vacation spot. I’d love to try all these places you highlighted!
You made me smile SO much in this video. All this looks and sounds incredible! I might have to move to this state for a year so I can walk all over and explore! I hope to find friends like you some day! for now, I'm going to New Mexico and exploring all this on my own! I cannot wait!!!!!!! 😃
Born, bred and raised in New Mexico. Left 2 times and always returning “home”. You need to expand out from The Bisti Highway/Wilderness area and see the entire 4-Corners. Much to offer, short miles into each surrounding state and a wonderful place to play and rest, once you’ve landed your feet. Hope to see more of your adventures here in New Mexico! 😊❤
Would love to come back! I was fortunate enough to explore other areas of the state when I was younger, which is why my focus was really in the northern areas this time. I’ll definitely have a return trip on my radar!
We are leaving for New Mexico this Friday and found your video very helpful. Also, your narration and production values are excellent. We've been watching a number of similar videos about NM and yours is a cut above! Happy travels!
I’m spending the week between Christmas and New Years in Taos….this video has been fantastic! Even with all the research I’ve done, I didn’t know about some of the activities you presented. Thanks!
Thank you for being upfront to begin with. Beautiful video throughout kept me interested. Very few Tubers know how to put a quality piece together. I am making my way to New Mexico in the spring in some of those areas you covered, great job all around.
New Mexico is an under-rated destination. My family loved rafting on the Rio Grande. A couple of other activities we enjoyed in this area- Pecos National Historic park (about 30mins East of Santa Fe right off I-40) and a horseback ride in the Sandia Mtns (about 30 mins or so East of ABQ). Southern NM has a whole host of incredible spots too!
Your next time try PieTown and Cammeron a great place to stay is Casa Del Gavilan bed and breakfast. Chaco Valley. Enjoy! Also, the VLA a hug valley west of Socaro the antenna are for listening for signals from space, it also has a musium.
Hey, you country is absolutely beautiful. I have to say, Boston, NYC, Texas (Dallas) and Florida as we speak are on top of my list to visit. I’m not too sure about New Mexico? Of course I want to visit but who knows when? as USA is such a massive country to visit. Thank you kindly for your time in making this amazing professional video. Believe me, your work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Thank you kindly 🙏🏻
Wonderful! That will be a great trip. When I was younger, I traveled with my family in our RV across the country and brought along our dog for the ride. A lot of my favorite memories include having my dog in tow to explore new places. :) Have a great time!
Hubby & I are planning a trip there this summer. We're thinking white sands but it's a bit out the way from where we plan to stay (Santa Fe area). Decisions, decisions lol
Great video! If you think Ojo Caliente is not "luxurious" enough, you should have been there before the major renovation and expansion. Very primitive! I liked it better then. There's a great hiking trail behind the spa, too.
Nice video. Very helpful to plan my trip to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I see you used a drone for some shots. I'm wondering why you did not use it for the Rio Grande Canyon bridge?
I probably should have used it there! :) But, in truth, I don’t recall even having it with me that particular day. I may have left it back at the Airbnb.
The northern and central part of NM is not the only interesting place in this state. While in the Air Force, I was stationed in Roswell NM. There you have New Mexico Military Institute, Bottomless Lakes a little north of Roswell, Ruidoso NM where there used to be a very well known Quarter horse race track, then on down further in the southeast corner you have Carlsbad Caverns. South Central NM has the very well known White Sands. You can't limit yourself to just one area of this state.
Samina -- Thank you so much for the "super thanks"! I am new to using that feature and didn't realize you contributed! It means a lot and will go toward a nice cup of tea on my next adventure! :)
I live here. Been here all My life. Born & Raised. Also we are Real & True Volcano State. Active too. All types of Volcanoes. Super too. Marrs only found here. Lava tunes & More. Hawaii doesn't have anything on us!!
You don't go to New Mexico "to do things".... its a life experience like no other. The places I've been and the mountains I've slept on top of... there not on a list.
Good video. I live in Colorado and have been visiting New Mexico since 1978. I owned a home in Taos for a few years. New Mexico is very beautiful and the arts, culture, architecture, food and scenery are wonderful. However, New Mexico has really gone downhill since becoming a blue state. It is last or next to last in every demographic category and continues to get wore. The crime is terrible. Law enforcement, courts, schools, roads and healthcare are awful.
Don't leave any valuables in your car exposed. Make sure your car doors are locked. At night, make sure your vehicle is under the brightest light around. Remove the wire between the distributor and the coil and put it in your pocket. Enjoy Albuquerque!
And, number one! Search for your stolen car,..Two, put up with low rider punks cruising the Santa Fe plaza. Yeah, great place! I grew up there. Don't forget to go in packing iron. You'll need it!
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE IN INDIAN LAND , INDIAN LAND THE WHOLE COUNTRY OF AMERICA IS INDAIN LAND IN FACT IT'S NOT EVEN AMERICA BUT DINES INDIAN LAND

Safe travels to everyone.
Lucky you! Thanks for watching.

They have Los Pollos Hermanos there.. the best chicken you will ever taste

I’m a travel nurse and this helped a ton for things to do on my days off! Thank you 😊
Are you planning a trip to New Mexico? I hope you found this video helpful! Let me know what I left out. :)
One day we'll go, it's actually on our bucket list, another great one, Thanks 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Happy birthday! It’ll be a great place to celebrate.
Great video, am travelling to NM and CO in September and would love to visit much of what you have featured. Thank you!
Thank you! Enjoy your trip!
This is one of the best videos I’ve found of the area. Thank you!

I just got back from New Mexico visited Los Alamos, White Rock, and Abiquiu/ GhostvRanch. I need to plan my trip for next year.
It's such a relaxed to watch this beautiful scene, 👍
Great video - thank you for sharing your trip.
Great video, thank you. I am planning a trip to NM and you showed me some places I never heard of and now gotta go to.
Thank you thank you for your recommedations! Visiting New Mexico next month, so pumped!
Have fun!
@@akfasso thank you!!
This was very very helpful. It is helping me to map out the best ways to see New Mexico along with hiking trails.

Great Video, I"m in Colorado and love traveling down to New Mexico
Really well done video. I love New Mexico! 💕
Good video! Very informative
Thanks, Juan!
So beautiful.i can't wait to go again.
Excellent video, traveling to NM in a few weeks.
Thanks for sharing and for all the information
Your next time try PieTown and Cammeron a great place to stay is Casa Del Gavilan bed and breakfast. Chaco Valley. Enjoy! Also, the VLA a hug valley west of Socaro the antenna are for listening for signals from space, it also has a musium.
Thanks for the recommendations! Will keep them in mind for my next trip.

@@akfasso Thank you kindly for sharing an amazing video 🙏🏻
おすすめにでてきました。とても素敵な動画です❤️
I had to translate this, but thank you! :)
Thanks for good information. Will be in Albuquerque and Santa Fe Late October.
Have a great time!
Excellent video!!
Great job! Thank you!
Making the trip to Albuquerque in September 2022, so excited 😊
Have a great time! Where are you traveling from?
From Virginia, 1600 miles. Traveling with 2 dogs, lol. Making it a two week trip. We are a retired couple so we can take our time and explore.
Wonderful! That will be a great trip. When I was younger, I traveled with my family in our RV across the country and brought along our dog for the ride. A lot of my favorite memories include having my dog in tow to explore new places. :) Have a great time!
Ojo Caliente has be in use for centuries. Ghost Ranch is a touristy place to me as a New Mexico. I much prefer Abiquiu.
Love your content 😊
Thanks, Tim!
Hubby & I are planning a trip there this summer. We're thinking white sands but it's a bit out the way from where we plan to stay (Santa Fe area). Decisions, decisions lol
It is pretty far from Santa Fe, but I visited there as a child and it was beautiful!
Great video! If you think Ojo Caliente is not "luxurious" enough, you should have been there before the major renovation and expansion. Very primitive! I liked it better then. There's a great hiking trail behind the spa, too.
Good to know! I don’t mind a primitive spa experience. :) Wish I could have seen it back in the day!
Going to New Mexico in February!
Have a great time!
Nice video. Very helpful to plan my trip to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I see you used a drone for some shots. I'm wondering why you did not use it for the Rio Grande Canyon bridge?
I probably should have used it there! :) But, in truth, I don’t recall even having it with me that particular day. I may have left it back at the Airbnb.
Los Pollos Hermanos was never a meth lab in Breaking Bad. But it *was* the headquarters of a notorious drug lord, so you can still have that laugh … 😊
You’re right. :)
you missed The Very Large Array (VLA) Radio Telescope but overall very good video.
The northern and central part of NM is not the only interesting place in this state. While in the Air Force, I was stationed in Roswell NM. There you have New Mexico Military Institute, Bottomless Lakes a little north of Roswell, Ruidoso NM where there used to be a very well known Quarter horse race track, then on down further in the southeast corner you have Carlsbad Caverns. South Central NM has the very well known White Sands. You can't limit yourself to just one area of this state.
I agree with you! I’ll be back to explore more in the future!
I've visited Chaco Culture National Park. I wonder why it is not included in your video though you went to Bisti Badlands.
It was on my initial list. Not enough time. 🙃
I love this
I have drove indiana to California I went through New Mexico I have friends that live there 😊
Thats cool
I love my state
Thanks!

@akfasso yes but im looking at sights where my husband doesnt have to walk far. Hes broken. Lol
King snake. Red touches black, you're okay, Jack. Red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow. Coral Snake.
You should have gotten a Footlong Chile Dog at The Doghouse. They're the best in the state. The corndogs are meh.
Just went to ghost ranch.
which month are you guys visiting? is it in the spring?
I was there during the last week of March into April.
Come to Nairobi! Anyone?
thanks
You’re welcome!
What time of year did you travel here?
Early April.
Hangover food == Stoner food. Another big thing in NM now that it's legal.
I'm going to Albuquerque in October this year.
see you ABQ by September 2022
I live here. Been here all My life. Born & Raised. Also we are Real & True Volcano State. Active too. All types of Volcanoes. Super too. Marrs only found here. Lava tunes & More. Hawaii doesn't have anything on us!!

I am not.
@@akfasso what is your actual sign?
Don't leave any valuables in your car exposed. Make sure your car doors are locked. At night, make sure your vehicle is under the brightest light around. Remove the wire between the distributor and the coil and put it in your pocket. Enjoy Albuquerque!
#1 ANSWER - Getting Drunk and getting High on Drugs.
And, number one! Search for your stolen car,..Two, put up with low rider punks cruising the Santa Fe plaza. Yeah, great place! I grew up there. Don't forget to go in packing iron. You'll need it!
Based on where you visited, you really didn’t see real NM 😂😂
Ugh stop watching you at snake zoo
NM is the worst state. Stay away from
