Fun in and around the Forest
Backpack or picknick into the high mountains and mesas of Lincoln County National Forest and the gentle loops in the many mountain canyons. Invigorate pinion perfumes. There are hundreds of trails in the Lincoln National Forest for hiking, biking, horse back riding and jeeps. Head towards the historic town of Lincoln, stomping grounds of the infamous Billy the Kid. Explore Wild West history in the local museums. Continue towards the ghost mining town of White Oaks, then head for Carrizozo, to visit the famous (at least in these parts!) Sierra Blanca Brewery. Next, travel on to the Three Rivers Petroglyph National Recreation Site where ancient Native American petroglyphs are carved into the stone. All around you the multicolored bluffs expose geologic history as well as the exquisite Native American icons. Wrap up the day with a visit to a local winery in Tularosa. In the evening dine around the campfire while enjoying the clear skies and bright stars. |
