Did you know that Albuquerque is home to the International Balloon Fiesta, which attracts visitors from all over the world? It's a truly surreal experience, watching hundreds of colorful hot air balloons soar overhead. And, fun fact: Las Cruces is actually Spanish for "the crosses," which refers to the three volcanic peaks that dominate the city's skyline.
If you're a foodie, you'll love the local cuisine in both cities. Be sure to try some green chile stew or a juicy burger at one of the many roadside diners along the way. And, of course, no trip to New Mexico would be complete without sampling some authentic Native American frybread – yum!
