New Mexico is one of the two southwestern states of the USA. The eastern border of New Mexico lies along 103 °W with Oklahoma, and 3 miles (5 km) west of 103 °W with Texas. Texas also lies south of most of New Mexico, although the southwestern boot-heel borders the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora. The western border with Arizona runs along 109 °W. The 37 °N parallel forms the northern boundary with Colorado. The states of New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah come together at the Four Corners in the northwestern corner of New Mexico.
The landscape ranges from wide, rose-colored deserts to broken mesas to high, snow-capped peaks. Despite New Mexico's arid image, heavily forested mountain wildernesses cover a significant portion of the state. Part of the Rocky Mountains, the broken, north-south oriented Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) range flanks both sides of the Rio Grande from the rugged, pastoral north through the center of the state. Government lands include the Cibola National Forest, headquartered in Albuquerque and the Santa Fe National Forest, headquartered in Santa Fe. The natural attractions of New Mexico include Carlsbad Caverns National Park and the Aztec Ruins National Monument. Thousands of tourists annually visit the White Sands National Monument, Bandelier, Capulin Volcano National Monument, El Morro.

The natural beauty of New Mexico's land forms will amaze outdoor enthusiasts. In the south the Gila National Forest combines 10,000 foot peaks and low desert life zones for an ever changing landscape. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains stem into the northern central part of the state. The Carson and Santa Fe National Forests engulf the Sangres and provide facilities for visitors to enjoy this vast, beautiful natural area. Rich in the culture of ancient and modern Pueblo peoples this state has many exciting places to explore. Ruins from 1300 A.D. and earlier pervade the desert landscape of New Mexico. Sites such as Bandelier National Monument, Chaco Culture National Historic Site and Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument are well preserved for the benefit of future generations.

New Mexico is graced with deserts, forests, cities, lakes and mountains. Its Pueblo Native American and Spanish cultures are still very much alive. Albuquerque, the largest city, has an international airport, and its Old Town, museums and cultural centres make it an important tourist destination and a good base for travelling through the State. Santa Fe, with its adobe architecture, is the USA’s oldest State capital. Other attractions include the Sandia Peak area and ski runs; the Carlsbad Caverns; the mountain resort of Ruidoso; the Spanish colonial village of La Mesilla; prehistoric Native American sites; and the Navajo Native American Reservation near Farmington.
Recreation opportunities in New Mexico are available for every skill level and interest. The mountains provide a long list of year round activities. The desert areas of the state provide a good refuge from cold northern winters, but be careful in the heat during the summer months.
