Las Cruces, New Mexico’s second-largest city, sits near the US-Mexican border on the edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, with the gargantuan Doña Ana and Organ Mountain Ranges providing a picturesque backdrop. You can explore this scenic landscape along the popular Pine Tree Trail, the Slot Canyon Trail, and other treks that lead past rugged rock formations, mountain waterfalls, and a sprawling ecosystem of flora and fauna, including the occasional rattlesnake and other desert critters.

The city features several historical monuments, including the Three Crosses that give the town its name. Downtown’s thriving Main Street has a pedestrian plaza, numerous museums — including the Museum of Art, Museum of Natural History, and Branigan Cultural Center — and galleries showcasing the art of the Southwest.
