The ULTIMATE New Mexico Road Trip - 2 Weeks, 12 Stops

[@jm5390]

New Mexico is such an underrated gem of a state! Despite the poverty and drug issues, the people are some of the best. Add some unbelievable scenery, rugged terrain, and amazing food, and you’ve got something special. Thanks for this video! Hope to be back in NM soon!

[@GabyGibson]

I live in Las Cruces which is about 15 minutes from White Sands. So pleased that you guys checked out my state

[@mecsoljae]

Been living in NM for ten years, from the northeast originally. It never gets less stunning

[@williambent9636]

Love the interesting places you visited, and the back stories on them. Las Vegas NM is a treasure, too.

[@moez1774]

That sunset shot at White Sands looks amazing

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Highlight of the trip for sure!

[@nmfencing]

My daughter is the little girl in all the meow wolf house photos. So many great memories

[@Bemytravelmuse]

wow nice!

[@jadafire3000]

Hiii

[@SpudForceable]

I moved to NM with the intention of only staying 2-3 years before transferring to CO or the PNW. I liked it here so much that I ended up buying a house here after a year lol.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Nice and congratulations!

[@birb8575]

[@Dollsteak69]

The people of NM are way more chill than Colorado. The PNW is expensive. Congrats!

[@bojackkatarn]

A few more good places to check out in NM would be some of the other national monuments (besides Bandelier): El Morro, El Malpais, Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks and Capulin Volcano.

[@DavidBrown-hn4fl]

I hope you continue to enjoy New Mexico throughout your life it is absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing.

[@eddielacrosse2]

aww. for some reason this video made me feel emotional. This is what I need to do.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Aw I hope you visit then! NM made me emotional too it was so pretty

[@chandi015d7]

Our first stop was carlsbsd caverns was amazing then white sands!! Love playing cribbage too.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

We play it all the time!

[@lanapatrick]

Wow! Thanks. Haven’t been to NM in 20yrs. Bringing back a lot of good memories.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

20 years! How was it like?

[@lanapatrick]

@@Bemytravelmuse It was still just as pretty as in your video! I didn’t get to explore the northern half as much as I had wanted to. I want to get back out there one day! I enjoy watching your videos, keep them coming please! :)

[@Bemytravelmuse]

@@lanapatrick Yay thanks so much for the feedback!

[@outtatheashez6636]

Great music choices!! Loved your video! I'm a recent empty nester and looking forward to getting out of the PNW more with my dog & traveling to warmer dryer climates! I'll have to check out NM!😁

[@richellemarie3863]

Next time you come you must come up to Ruidoso New Mexico ski mountain

[@TwinTowersForever]

New Mexico is definitely underrated as a travel destination. Next time you’re here come to Roswell. I help run a shop called the “Roswell UFO Spacewalk” and we’d love to have y’all in!

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Omg I will definitely keep that in mind!

[@donivingonzales2765]

Nm sunsets hit different. Profile pic as an examp

[@cesarvelez1250]

You were right the first time, pronouncing Madrid, as in Madrid Spain. Thanks for the video.

[@dennisodson4572]

The thing that's always kept me from new Mexico. Is I've heard and read the crime rate is out of hand. And there's a good chance you're gonna get back to the parking lot and your ride will be gone. Same with southern Colorado. Might have to take one of the beaters down so if it get stolen so what. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@donairewycheel]

Thanks for this video! We just moved here in Nm and this is helpful

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Congrats on the move! Loved NM

[@NoYouTubeBrittany]

This is just precious!!

[@wawawho18_adventures]

yo i really enjoyed this video! bisti badlands looks cool! i just came from white sands and have a video about it! i think i found a new channel to binge! i love your style! subscribed!

[@davidhines68]

I'll have to go to Bisti Badlands when I get back to Northwest New Mexico. If you all get a chance to go back, I'd recommend visiting Shiprock. Very unearthly landscape.

[@legalnurse63]

One of 2 places on earth with the highest energy/magnetism.

[@gary20o]

So cool. Nice video.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Thanks!

[@sxyngel]

This is not one of them

[@adeelraiz8172]

Love from Pakistan. God bless you and your family

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Thank you!

[@daisyskippy4673]

Next time you are in Madrid, check out the Shanti community, I love renting a Yurt there for a couple nights. It’s a joy living in New Mexico :)

[@passportstravelvloggers2580]

Great video! Thanks for sharing it!

[@Bemytravelmuse]

My pleasure!

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Glad you liked it

[@ericpierce3660]

Next time make a stop at Carlsbad Caverns! Well worth it.

[@eadt12]

You both need to come down in october for sure. International Balloon Fiesta is the biggest event the state has

[@Bemytravelmuse]

I’d love to come back!

[@InvaderKush]

"were just tired of getting pelted by wind." Trust me, us too. haha

[@Bemytravelmuse]

I'm sure! They really mean it when they say it's the windy season.

[@haroldm5814]

Great job on your video, I really enjoyed it. I was born and raised in Northern New Mexico and still live here, we truly have a beautiful state. Another couple of places you should visit in NM are Red River and Ruidoso they are enjoyable mountainous touristy towns with quite a few things to see. I am glad you visited the State of NM - the Land of Enchantment and Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas! Subscribed.

[@Ellllooooooo]

I’ve lived in NM most of my life (im 10 btw ) and im so happy to see you guys enjoying this place

[@Bemytravelmuse]

It’s wonderful! So many very special places

[@HighHopesAndDreamsWill]

Used this for some tips on my trip

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Yay amazing!

[@donaldtucker3843]

great video!

[@antoniogarcia2625]

16:20, What’s the name of the restaurant in Santa Fe with the French Toast?!

[@chandi015d7]

Love this in NM now!!

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Enjoy!

[@TyairaSmith-te9zr]

Where was the sand park? There is one in El paso and New Mexico which one did you visit?

[@TyairaSmith-te9zr]

Or is it the same?

[@laurenemily1]

Where can we find the list of Airbnbs you stayed at?

[@mtexanv5513]

Hi, enjoyed your video. Whats the weather in New Mexico like late June?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Probably pleasant in some areas, getting hot in others.

[@LoveyK]

It’s cool in the mountains, dry & hot on the plains.

[@mercedeslopez6969]

It is very hot in June, July and August, gets up to 100 degrees and its a dry heat but I live in Eastern Nm ,its cooler in northern Nm , my family goes up to the northern mountains , every summer to cool off. We love going camping there.

[@RJ.Holman]

I’m thinking about going on a road trip here!

[@Bemytravelmuse]

It’s a great spot!

[@kbme5047]

Loved this video!!! Where are you all from originally

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Thanks! I’m from greater Los Angeles and he’s from Massachusetts

[@theroyalfamily17M]

Beautiful 💗

[@Tunedinnetwork86]

Dumb question? What sort of camera you using? Also, were the animals strays?

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Not a dumb question! It's a Sony A7III for the most part. The dogs and the cat are not strays, I'm trying to think of the other animals you might be referencing - the birds are wild.

[@Jod2121]

Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the helpful tips for my trip next month

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Yay!

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

Next time give Gallup a chance. It has a better concentration of restaurants and local scenery. Shiprock, church rock, Ramah, Zuni, acoma Pueblo and Navajo Nation. All other states claim diversity but NM is diverse by default. I lived in and stayed in several states and if your a different color it's segregated or looked down upon. In New Mexico it's kinda were all here, were all American, so deal with it. Love all of New Mexico the original badlands of America.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

Would I love to explore more of those areas! They were mostly closed due to COVID but are on my list for sure.

skipped ruidoso during its best and most glorious time.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

What’s that??

[@ikearramba1886]

@@Bemytravelmuse Whats Ruidoso or the most glorious time? Ruidoso is a cute ski/tourist mountain town on hwy 70 between alamogordo nm and roswell nm Ruidoso Downs race track just opened and had a million dollar quarter horse qualifier. ill try and upload on my channel. Far better than anything norther nm has to offer.

[@emmao2601]

I was born and raised in NM and if you’re gonna visit please don’t try to change our tradition by putting your two sense into it it’s traditional for a reason for example last years zozobra it was honestly really sad and our monuments etc. are being melted peed on or destroyed in general so please visit without trying to change our culture

[@lisasanchez292]

You will regret it!

[@gfdthhcvxt4915]

boring!

[@kellyaustin7487]

I guess it's a decent place to visit but definitely not to live here. Poor educational system, high crime, low paying jobs, horrible policing, worst roads on earth, poor infrastructure, just to name a few. If your willing to trade a fun day trip for a lifetime of misery then this is your place. That being said, this was a fantastic video review. Well done.

[@bigbean69699]

All of New Mexico is the hood don’t go

[@Azarathify]

If you're gonna do a video about NM, the least you can do is pronounce the cities correctly.

[@Bemytravelmuse]

You seem on edge. I recommend google imaging 'calming manatee' 💜
