We’re off for a short trip Stateside (9 days) in late August, flying to Denver.

Having done all the major sights of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Wyoming on previous trips from Denver, we thought we’d give New Mexico a whirl, as it is a state that we’ve not been to.

We only have flights booked so far, so we are flexible in our travels, and looking to understand if anyone’s been to New Mexico, whether you found it enjoyable and some of your recommendations.

We love the great outdoors, beautiful scenery, good walks and the odd pleasant town or two to chill out for a couple of days by the pool. Travelling as a family with two teenagers.

Thanks in advance.
