New Mexico Space Trail is One of the Most Unique Road Trips in the U.S.
This Is One of the Most Unique Road Trips in the U.S.—With 52 Sites Dedicated to Space, Stargazing, and UFOs
With high altitude, dark skies, and vast expanses populated by few people, it's no wonder that New Mexico has a longstanding history as a hotspot for stargazing, rocket launches, and possible UFO sightings.
"New Mexico’s connection to space is woven into our landscape, our history, and our spirit of exploration,” says Lancing Adams, acting cabinet secretary of the New Mexico Tourism Department.
One of the best ways to explore the Land of Enchantment's out-of-this-world history is by embarking on the New Mexico Space Trail. The road trip consists of 52 historic sites related to space—from ancient rock art to modern laboratories—that give insight and unique perspectives on the state's important role in the space industry.
