Imagine a place unlike anywhere you’ve ever been. A place where the sun shines 310 days per year. A place where snowcapped mountain peaks gradually succumb to a vast expanse of high plains. A place where the sunrise illuminates windswept grasslands to reveal peacefully grazing cattle interspersed with pronghorn antelope. A place where rose-colored deserts are in stark contrast with a horizon of fluffy white clouds, cartoonishly dotting a turquoise blue sky. A place where the sunsets blaze red like fire against a rugged mountain silhouette, the faint echo of a bull elk bugling in the distance. No, this isn’t Montana or Idaho. It’s not Wyoming or Colorado or even Arizona. This is New Mexico!
