Things to do in New Mexico, United States: The Best Lookouts

March 19, 2022 Cedrick Jardin

With its rich cultural heritage from Native American and Spanish settlers, New Mexico has been both a Spanish colony and a Mexican colony, and still retains a strong individual identity within the United States. The landscape is breathtaking, the food incredible, and there is a thriving cultural scene, all of which makes New Mexico, and Santa Fe in particular, a great place all year long.

White Rock Overlook Park

Favorite park of tourists and residents alike provides magnificent views of the Rio Grande and facilities for outdoor sports and picnicking.

Reviewed By lorilouf - Overland Park, United States

This park is a hidden gem, sitting right on the edge of White Rock, NM. There are several little outlook points and trails, and even picnic benches. Trails are easy to follow and offer different vistas of nearby mountain ranges with the ever-changing clouds and storms and the winding Rio Grande River below. Enjoy the wildlife, flora and fauna in a peaceful setting. Leaving the park, you'll see the locals playing sports at the awesome city park and you can imagine that life in White Rock, NM is pleasant indeed. The family park also has restrooms.

State Route 244

Reviewed By Jump007 - Waco, United States

Beautiful and calm drive through the woods. You can see plenty of wildlife. We generally see more wild mustangs out there. We have seen a few elk and a lot of deer. Really nice drive from Ruidoso to Cloudcroft via hwy 244. You will not be disappointed on this drive if you love getting off the beaten track!
