New Mexico was our final stop on our west coast trip, after visiting San Diego and numerous stops through Arizona. Again the landscape certainly is different to the east coast but it really is a beautiful area.

We stopped in at Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Madrid (that's right out of the movie Wild Hogs) and Los Alamos.
