A winter ski trip is always within a few hours drive and natural hot springs are sprinkled throughout the state.

Since 2013 Albuquerque has been mentioned and recognized over 175 times for the climate, culture, cost of living, biking and hiking trails, and best places to live, among other noteworthy mentions.
