Carlsbad Caverns National Park
|
|
|
| |
Carlsbad would likely be a small dusty New Mexican outpost if it were
not for the geological wonder of Carlsbad Caverns National Park,
located 25 miles from town. Carlsbad sits amidst Llano Estacado not
far from the banks of the Pecos River, its economy relying primarily
upon the 700,000 annual visitors to the Caverns. |

Roswell
|
Population: 45,000
|
|
| |
Roswell's main tourism draw is rather 'out of this world'. Roswell is
the closest settlement to the site of a mysterious and controversial
incident that occurred in 1947 when some sort of craft crashed out of
the sky. Regardless of it's origins, the possibility that an alien
spaceship crashed here spells big business opportunity, and Roswell
has cashed in on the theory basing a good part of its economy on
hosting UFO buffs and other curious visitors. UFO Museums, UFO
'research facilities' and a plethora of other outer space and alien
themed attractions are available for exploration in Roswell. Visitors
looking for more terrestrial, Earthling recreation will find Roswell
also offers good access to a variety of activities in the LLano
Estacado Plains which surround town. |
