On our way back to Texas for the holidays, we spent the weekend in Southern New Mexico exploring White Sands National Monument, Las Cruces, and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. We had a blast playing in the sand dunes, drinking coffee and eating food, and wandering through the CRAZY caverns!

@@AdventuresofAplusK I live on the south side of Las Cruces, between the NMSU Campus and "A" Mountain (Tortugas Mountain). If you're ever back in the area there are some great hiking areas behind "A" Mountain in the Organ Mountains and NMSU has a beautiful campus to explore. Both are best in early Spring before the summer heat hits and there's still a cool breeze. Don't get me started on the great Mexican food. Check out La Posta(a classic), Andale's(that salsa bar!), and Si Senor(best margaritas and michelada's). Edit P.S. Great tip for White Sands. Put your phones/electronics/wallets in sealed cases or even plastic baggies if you're gonna have them on you. The sand gets into Everything, can scratch screens/delicate surfaces, and do a number on the ports of your devices. On the Plus side, walking barefoot is a great way to exfoliate your feet. Come out soft and smooth. lol

@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад

Wow, thank you so so much for all of the tips! We really look forward to making it back that way. Lots of great free boondocking spots for our van + all of the amazing food and hikes you mentioned make it right up our alley!

So much that I moved here 15 years ago and love it still. Dark skies, coyotes singing at nite, different beauty with every short road trip.

Oh wow, I wish you hadn't shown the mole enchiladas, now I have to have some. That's a great walk through the caverns, there are views and cave formations all along the way, it's all scenic. There used to be a snack bar at the bottom, maybe it's still there, then you ride the elevator back up. I believe the geologic formations (reef?) containing the caverns are the same formations that are exposed at Guadalupe Mountains which isn't all that far away.

Kudos to you for crafting such an exceptional video! 🎥🌟 The way you presented the information was captivating and engaging. It's no wonder that Las Cruces is attracting so many incredible people from all walks of life. The city is evolving into a vibrant melting pot of cultures and ideas, and it's a joy to witness. As if that weren't enough, the homes being built in Metro Verde and Sonoma Ranch are the epitome of elegance and luxury. It's a testament to the exciting future that awaits those lucky enough to call Las Cruces home.

The way I remembered stalactites from the stalagmites is T stood for Top from stalactites and mites crawled on the ground floor.

Thanks for showing my beautiful city, Alamogordo.Did you go to Cloudcroft which is 16 miles up 8,600 ft above sea level in the mountains temperature drop 20 degrees waterfalls are there. Also , Ruidoso lake , snow which is only 45 minutes away the Apache reservation is there it’s beautiful. Next visit. Look them up.

@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад

We haven’t made it there yet! That was the plan for this winter, but we wanted to respect NM’s travel restrictions, so we will save it for next year.

@dylanfromflorida1619 3 года назад

@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад

@tracyatkins6120 3 года назад

Oh no!! Ya’ll should have went from Las Cruces to Cloudcroft, stopped and hiked a trail in the beautiful mountains, stayed the night at The Lodge, or just go eat dinner there, then on to Artesia and do the Bronze Statue tour (lots of hx), then on to Carlsbad!! Maybe next time.

@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад

where do ya'll leave the dog when walking around las cruces? I want to take a road trip but don't know where to leave my dog

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

Hi Yasmin! She stays in our van, which stays a lot cooler than a car since it’s insulated and we have window covers and a fan. We don’t leave her in there if it’s too warm though, we will rent an Airbnb if we plan to be somewhere warm and cannot take her all around with us.

Almost every place here in Cruces has free chips and salsa. When you come through LC again, you should try Andele dog house, it has a salsa bar with 4 different salsas and pico de gallo. It is near the Plaza in Mesilla. I would recommend the green chili chicken enchiladas, they are some of the best in town. The tacos are also a great option if you are wanting to split.
