Tunnel Vista Observation Site
Vista point
👍 A beautiful place to hangout and take a dip. The trail is not marked, but I included a screenshot of where to go. There are multiple routes, but the yellow and red one are more advanced and will possibly require a change of pants once you get down to the bottom if you take your kids with you or are...

Amber Skies

Tularosa Basin Museum of History
Museum
👍👍 If you love history, this is a must see! I've grown to love museums and all they have to offer in terms of history and artifacts! So much in this building. The ladies working there walked with us and answered so many questions! I learned so mush here and I recommend this place highly!

Salado Canyon Trailhead
Hiking area
👍 Did a family friendly hike with a group. It is a short trail and after a mile and a half on the Salado trail you come to what was a old bridge that is no longer there. Do not continue past the down bridge, there is no longer a trail. This trailhead in the opposite direction takes you to Bridal fall...
