Old West Visitors Recommend:
Gran Quivira, Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument
I had the pleasure of visiting Gran Quivera in the summer. The walking trails are very well kept and to be able to walk in the ruins is great. I love the museum with the pottery that was put together and the arrowheads. Its a wonderful place to visit!

Elephant Butte, City of
Nestled on the shores of New Mexico’s largest lake, and located between two major metropolitan areas, the City of Elephant Butte (Inc. in 1998) was named for the resemblance of an extinct volcanic cinder cone, located right by the dam. Elephant Butte offers travelers great motels, restaurants, churches, service stations, bait shops, banks, auto/boat sales & repair, gift shops, fishing & tour guide services and more. Located along the Geronimo Byway, Elephant Butte is a hub for day trips to local historical sites and the Gila National Forest.
