New Mexico Lodging

Nestled between Arizona to the west and Texas to the east, New Mexico is just north of the border. Despite this state’s arid image, landscapes in the region are divided between more than just deserts and broken mesas. Snow-covered mountains protrude from the ground towards the north and are often surrounded by heavily-forested areas. With a multitude of natural and man-made wonders scattered about the area, it is no wonder New Mexico is a popular choice for people wanting to take out a vacation rental or condo rental accommodation and get away from the stresses of modern life for a while.

Some of the biggest naturally-occurring tourist magnets in the area include the Rio Grande Gorge, White Sands National Monument and the Shiprock.

What makes the White Sands so unique is the fact that they are composed of gypsum, a substance that is highly soluble in water. Under normal circumstances this would mean that the sands would have dissolved and been carried away by rain ages ago. But because they are trapped inside of a basin, they do not get carried away by water, making for one of the most distinct and beautiful desert settings in the world.

Beginning near the Colorado border, the Rio Grande Gorge runs for almost fifty miles, ending southeast of the town of Taos. At a depth of eight hundred feet around the Gorge Bridge, this behemoth of a landmark has been providing tourists with unforgettable vistas since its discovery.

Shiprock is another great natural feature of the land worthy of a visit. Coming about as a result of millions of years of erosion of softer material around it, this massive rock protrusion was once the throat of a volcano and has been the subject of much mythology for Native American populations in its vicinity. Vacation rentals in the state will give you a chance to visit all of these wonderful places.
