This tour of New Mexico's largest city goes beyond the traditional guidebook to offer a historical journal through an area rich with diverse cultures and their fascinating past. The journey through time starts with the settlement of Native Americans in pueblos along the Rio Grande and then initiatives by Spain to settle and convert the region. Visit Old Town Plaza, where trade from the El Camino Real and Santa Fe Trails flourished. Look around lesser-known sites, including railroad depot facilities, major military landmarks and nostalgic Route 66. Join author and local history lover Roger Zimmerman as he carefully curates an expedition through each era of Albuquerque's history and its most beloved sites.

Don't let the drawl fool you--Dallas boasts a dynamic history full of explosive growth. The cityscape itself seems eager to measure up to the outsized personalities that forged the town's identity. A sixty-seven-and-a-half-foot-tall giraffe statue greets visitors to the Dallas Zoo, while guests exiting the Joule Hotel encounter the gaze of a thirty-foot eyeball. A colossal Pegasus glows above it all from its perch on top of the Magnolia Petroleum building. Subtler storylines also thread their way through the forest of glass and steel, from the jazz of Deep Ellum alleyways to the peaceful paths of the Katy Trail. Author Georgette Driscoll looks beyond the inscriptions for the events that shaped Dallas into the city it is today.

With its unique culture, fascinating history, and diverse landscape, New Mexico offers a wide range of experiences and activities for visitors of all ages. In this chapter, we will take a closer look at why New Mexico is so fascinating and what are the reasons to visit this state. Geography and climate New Mexico has an area of more than 315,000 square kilometers, making it the fifth largest state in the United States. It is known for its contrasting landscapes, ranging from the deserts of the south to the mountain ranges of the north. The state is also rich in rivers and lakes, such as the Rio Grande and Elephant Butte Lake. The climate in New Mexico varies by region. It is hot and dry in the desert areas in the south, while it is cooler in the higher regions in the north.
