Isn’t the idea of leaving “reality” behind something that appeals to you? For most of us, the idea of an escape is something that we strive for. Whether it is trying to escape the stress of a sick loved one or our job, it is usually a nice idea to venture out to a remote area and just relax. One thing you may not expect is that an escape is closer to you than you may think. You do not have to venture outside of the U.S. to find it. You simply need to visit the spectacular and remote area of New Mexico.

Adventure Awaits You

One possible adventure you can find in NM is the Gila National Forest. It is located in the southwestern part of the US, near a city known as Silver City, and was established in 1905. It is here that you will find a majestic wilderness that has been shaped by Mother Nature to become beautiful in every way. It is an area of forests and mountains that reach up as sharp peaks. It is the sixth largest National Forest in the US to give you an idea of how massive an area it is. This is why it is such a great place to go if you want to get “lost” on a hike or in an old mountain cabin that time has forgotten.

Its Everything You Want to Experience

If you prefer to stick closer to a small town, you can choose to visit areas of NM that show off history at its best. There are places you can go to ride bikes through nature and see iconic churches or cathedrals. There are also state parks that are worthy of exploration and many of them are perfect for those who are in love with nature. You can visit the beaches or hidden bodies of water or a desert without venturing too far away from your start point. Not many areas can offer you so much adventure and it is all waiting for you.

Plan Your Vacation

Whether you want to explore the heritage of the area, go hiking, watch hot air balloons fill the sky, or simply relax near a body of water, you should not wait to start planning your trip. There are hot springs for you to take a dip in and an ocean of fun for you to have. You can go river rafting or horseback riding or simply take a trip down one of the many scenic drives that are located in this area of the world. No matter where you want to go or what you want to do while you are there, you can plan ahead to find good deals on rooms and cabins. If you do not want to confine yourself to one area, there are many campsites around New Mexico that allow you to backpack in and backpack out for your next adventure. What are you waiting for? Nice temperatures and fun await in what is perhaps one of the most magical areas of the United States.
