You and OP didn’t mention the Bosque del Apache. It’s a few miles south of Socorro. Every year thousands of birds migrate to there. It’s a beautiful sight to behold in the perfect setting to see for miles into the distance. NM is definitely underrated, but it’s hard for me to not see some problems of course. It’s got problems from being remote and sparsely populated. It’s a desert with plenty of water issues/disputes. It’s got good and bad history. Plenty of things to see and do that are beautiful to behold or experience. But I’m even more glad it’s not ruined with overpopulation.
