People visiting New Mexico will see a wide variety of breathtaking and memorable scenes from desert landscapes to high mountains, quaint villages and diverse geological formations. The mesas, cliffs and volcanoes (yes, we have volcanoes thankfully now dormant for eons), rifts and plains, and the dramatic changes of the foliage with the seasons are often overpowering, yet a constant source for inspiration. New Mexico is known as "The Land of Enchantment" for a reason.
