Hand's down best BBQ in all of New Mexico. Only thing close to this good is Franklin BBQ in Austin, TX. There are no other rivals. Try the sliced brisket and loaded potato salad. Inside tip: ask for burnt ends. Their butchers will know what you mean.

Carl and Kim run this local establishment and their Thai is as authentic and as tasty as you will find in any major U.S. city. Our favorite is the panang curry. For dessert, try the mango sticky rice!

Alamogordo loves their cherry limeade drinks and no one does it better than Caliche's. Everything is made by scratch using real ingredients. If you have a real sweet tooth, we recommend trying their lemon ice, custards and specials.

A natural wonder that must be visited while in the area. Sunsets are unbelievable here. We recommend taking the road all the way to the very end to see the best snowy white dunes. Please check dates, ticket prices and hours of operation before going.

Many of the ancient indigenous people of this area spent their lives as farmers along the area known as Three Rivers. A drought caused those people to evacuate the area long ago, but this site has over 8,000 rocks that preserve their heritage and stories.
