Tourist destinations to consider near Artesia are listed below. Click on any name for complete information.



Alamogordo Population: 36,000
  Tucked into the western slopes of the Sacramento Mountains, Alamogordo is a farm and ranch community with unique recreational opportunities right at its doorstep. Located just a few miles from White Sands National Monument and a gateway town to the fishing, hiking and skiing of the Sacramento Mountains, visitors to Alamogordo will find it a good base for explorations of the surrounding countryside.
     
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.
