The small town of Lincoln is steeped in wild west history, its
colorful past painted by the Apache Indians and characters such as
Billy the Kidd and Kit Carson. Interestingly enough, the town of
Lincoln has shunned the plastico fast food and motel franchises that
have sprung up almost everywhere else in New Mexico and visitors will
find only locally owned dining and accommodation options are available
here. In addition to Lincoln's history and heritage, the rolling
grasslands and foothills of the Sierra Blanca Mountains incorporated
in the Fort Stanton Recreation area spread to the west of town,
offering visitors to this area a good variety of recreational
opportunity. |

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. |
