ON THE COVER<br />
A native of El Paso, Texas, Susan Amstater’s passion for the<br />
enchanting landscapes of the southwest is evident in her<br />
lively paintings. She interprets her surroundings with vivid<br />
abstract imagery and rich imagination. Her most recent travels<br />
to California, Montana, Italy, and New Zealand have<br />
inspired her to paint her emotional and instinctive responses<br />
to these diverse and dramatic locales as well.<br />

New Mexico<br />
Welcome to<br />
By Joseph Burgess<br />
WHERE ARE YOU PLANNING YOUR NEXT VACATION with family or<br />
friends? The answer should be New Mexico for whatever type of getaway you are<br />
imagining. New Mexico Traveler can set the stage for a fabulous visit and guide<br />
you in a fresh new direction every time you return.<br />
The region offers world-class gaming and nightlife, premier snow and water<br />
skiing, a thousand years of native culture, four hundred years of Spanish heritage,<br />
space age museums and radio telescopes, Native American shopping like no other<br />
place on earth, world-class arts, scenic wonders and unprecedented wildlife<br />
opportunities. There is no way that you can visit New Mexico and leave without<br />
discovering a new thought or feeling that could affect the rest of your life.<br />
Artists are drawn to New Mexico because of unspoiled landscapes, a compassionate<br />
people who understand why they were put on this Earth and an endless<br />
blue sky that clears the conscience. A passion is generated from within as one<br />
experiences the enchantment that has pervaded the area since the first<br />
amphibians set foot on her muddy beaches some 280 million<br />
years ago and that continues to make New Mexico a<br />
very special place.<br />
The <strong>2005</strong> issue of New Mexico<br />
Traveler emphasizes the state’s remarkable<br />
prehistoric critters, the rise and fall<br />
of ancient civilizations and the early<br />
Spanish thrust that was spreading<br />
European influence across the native<br />
region even before the Pilgrims landed at<br />
Plymouth Rock.<br />
Those were the beginnings of a land and a<br />
people that can provide each of you with the<br />
incredible experience of your choice. Diversity<br />
is, after all, New Mexico’s greatest asset.<br />
So take the elevator into the magnificent<br />
Carlsbad Caverns or the high speed lifts up pristine<br />
ski slopes. Watch thousands of migrating<br />
snow geese and the graceful movements of a bull<br />
elk. Visit the “great house” complexes of the<br />
ancient Anasazi or the Very Large Array, quietly listening<br />
to distant galaxies. Dine exquisitely and shop<br />
in the world’s top markets for art and Native<br />
American products. Come and enjoy America’s Land<br />
of Enchantment for the time of your life.<br />

Enchanted Travels<br />
FOUR HUNDRED YEARS OF INTEGRATING INDIGENOUS AND<br />
European influences have given Albuquerque and Santa Fe tools for accomplishment<br />
on an international scale. Our journey begins in the heart of the state,<br />
a distinctive region encompassing New Mexico’s largest and oldest centers for<br />
commerce, culture and governance. The area continues to build upon its diverse<br />
heritage and to strengthen its position in the arts, entertainment and outdoor<br />
experiences.<br />
The ancient Anasazi culture migrated into the Rio Grande valley and its tributaries<br />
in the 13th and 14th centuries giving rise to the Pueblo groups discovered<br />
by Spanish explorers. Early ruins and petroglyphs and the later mission<br />
churches of the Spanish colonizers are strong reminders of New Mexico’s role in<br />
American history.<br />
The Historic Route 66 strip in Albuquerque bubbles over with incredible<br />
shopping, nightlife and cultural attractions. The city is surrounded by river<br />
walks, ski slopes and the largest of New Mexico’s casinos.<br />
World-class art markets, performing arts and an internationally recognized<br />
slate of museums distinguish Santa Fe as a primary travel destination. The<br />
nation’s oldest capitol has carefully preserved its Spanish/pueblo architecture<br />
that creates an ambiance found nowhere else in the country. Unique shopping<br />
and dining cap the area’s gaming and outdoor opportunities.<br />

Isleta Pueblo<br />
Casino on a Grand Scale.<br />
THE VERSATILE<br />
ISLETA PUEBLO<br />
INDIANS HAVE<br />
set an aggresive course in developing their reservation. It borders<br />
the south side of New Mexico’s largest city and includes the Isleta<br />
Casino and Resort, an Eagle Golf Course, and the Isleta Lakes<br />
recreation area.<br />
Isleta’s 100,000 square foot Casino is New Mexico’s Grandest<br />
resort with over 1,700 of the latest Nevada-style slots, 28 table<br />
games, five restaurants and a 1,200 seat bingo showroom that can<br />
seat over 3,000 for concerts or other venues.<br />
The Eagle Golf Course is a 27-hole championship course with<br />
an excellent club house and restaurant. The Isleta Lakes area has<br />
been developed for fishing and picnicking, and has activities for<br />
the whole family. An RV park at the lakes allows visitors more time<br />
to explore and enjoy the lake region.<br />
The pueblo invests profits from its enterprises into new ventures<br />
and into the needs of the pueblo. It remains, however, much as it<br />
has for hundreds of years. First established in the 1300’s, the<br />
pueblo was named Isleta, or Little Island, by the Spaniards. It<br />
stretches from the wooded Manzano Mountains, across the fertile<br />
Rio Grande Valley and the west side mesas to the Rio Puerco. The<br />
pueblo’s population is over 4,000.<br />
St. Augustine Church, located on the main plaza of the village,<br />
was first built in 1616 under the name of St. Anthony. It is one of<br />
the oldest mission churches in the United States. De Vargas located<br />
the St. Anthony ruin in 1692 and had the church rebuilt on the<br />
original foundation in 1716.<br />
The pueblo is determined<br />
to develop self-reliance without<br />
compromising its heritage.<br />

Lakes Recreation Area. St. Augustine Church in the old pueblo was originally built on this site in 1616.<br />

Albuquerque<br />
An international destination for culture and entertainment<br />
GAINING RECOGNITION<br />
AS AN INTERNATIONAL<br />
DESTINATION FOR<br />
culture and entertainment, New Mexico’s center for commerce and technology has developed an impressive selection<br />
of restaurants, museums, galleries, nightclubs and casinos. The river, the mountains and fabulous weather<br />
have been the common threads for ancient peoples, pueblos, settlers, parks, and hot air balloon fiestas.<br />
Historic Route 66, running the full length of town, is lined with Albuquerque hot spots. Both downtown and<br />
Nob Hill boast excellent ethnic restaurants, live music, dancing and theaters. Old Town, with its Spanish influenced<br />
plaza and church, is a shopping Mecca for Indian and Spanish crafts and home for some of the city’s best<br />
Mexican food. Old Town will be the focus of the city’s tricentennial celebration from April <strong>2005</strong> through April<br />
2006.<br />
The 170-acre Albuquerque Biological Park west of Old Town consists of an aquarium, botanical gardens, and<br />
zoo. The Rio Grande Nature Center and State Park provide hiking and bicycle trails through dense cottonwood<br />
forest along the river. Major museums border Old Town, with the Indian Pueblo and National Hispanic Cultural<br />
Centers located nearby.<br />
Petroglyph National Monument on the northwest edge of Albuquerque preserves an enormous collection of<br />
ancient symbols and artwork scratched onto volcanic rocks. A visitor center explains the prehistoric culture and<br />
walking trails allow access to the rock art.<br />
For the thrill of your life, take the world's longest tramway to the summit of Sandia Peak. Dine overlooking<br />
Albuquerque or ski and hike the back slopes of the mountain.<br />
North and south of Albuquerque, the pueblos of Isleta, Sandia, Santa Ana and San Felipe have indulged in the<br />
development of resorts, championship golf courses, race tracks, gaming and entertainment.<br />

DOWNTOWN<br />
The Route 66 area swells with funky restaurants, cinemas and nightclubs<br />
The spirit of Historic Route 66 is very much alive amongst the skyscrapers of<br />
downtown Albuquerque. The revitalized area swells with funky restaurants, cinemas,<br />
and nightclubs. Outdoor patio and sidewalk dining and art exhibits on the 4th street<br />
walkway add a European element to the district. Well-lit streets overflow with people<br />
in the evenings as restaurants give way to music and dance floors.<br />
Central Avenue, the Alvarado Transportation Center and the Kiva Theater generate<br />
memories for ‘50s and ‘60s travelers. The new look of the city includes murals,<br />
underground shopping, life-size bronzes of locals chatting on the corners and a large<br />
plaza for events.<br />

Happy 300th birthday to Old Town, the roots of New Mexico’s largest city. Founded in 1705,<br />
the early trading village named for the Spanish Duke of Albuquerque, grew outward from a central<br />
plaza dominated by San Felipe de Neri church.<br />
Today, the plaza with its traditional bandstand is surrounded by shops and restaurants housed<br />
in old Spanish colonial style buildings. Large selections of Native American pottery, jewelry and<br />
rugs are available, as well as art, New Mexican furniture, collectables and southwest apparel.<br />
The best in Mexican food provides the sustenance for another round of shopping on the<br />
streets of Old Town.<br />

Cerrillos<br />
Adobe, stone, and wood siding construction, styles of another time.<br />
by Frank J. Young<br />
THE DISCERNING GUEST<br />
of the Village of Cerrillos will soon discover that it’s not really a “one-horse town” (you’ll find several<br />
horses stabled here), as the Old West is pleasantly drawn from the depths of one’s imagination by the<br />
picturesque First Street with Mary’s Bar, false-fronted shops (now galleries, cafe, and studios), and St.<br />
Joseph’s Catholic church, all shaded by ancient cottonwood trees.<br />
Adobe, stone, and wood siding construction, styles of another time when the clop clop of horses’<br />
hooves, the braying of donkeys, and the smell of wood smoke from cook stoves were signs of the times.<br />
Cerrillos was then a busy mining town, boasting two churches, a public school with 130 students, twenty-seven<br />
saloons, four hotels, five brothels, and 3000 citizens, vying almost successfully to be the capital<br />
of the soon-to-be State of New Mexico.<br />
The history of the village includes mining of turquoise by Native Americans as early as A.D. 900 and<br />
the mining of lead, gold, and silver by the Spanish after 1540, when Coronado visited the area. The<br />
first gold boom of the area came in 1823, when a herder tending his animals picked up a stone to throw<br />
at his stubborn mule, noted its peculiar weight, and discovered flecks of gold in the stone. Later booms<br />
came in 1828 at the “Old Placers” and in 1839 at the “New Placers.” Again, in the late 1870s, another<br />
rush began, and on March 8, 1879, Founder’s Day was declared for the community of Cerrillos.<br />
What does one do in Cerrillos today? Ride horseback in the hills surrounding the village; hike in<br />
the Cerrillos Hills Park, 1100 acres encompassing many of the old mines that pepper the “little hills”;<br />
visit The What-not Shop, have lunch with Joseph at the Enchanted on First Café, spend time with Todd<br />
and Patricia Brown at the Turquoise Mining Museum; and walk by the Clear Light Opera House, where<br />
Sarah Bernhardt and Lillian Langtree once sang.<br />

Don’t expect a fancy sub-division because<br />
this village was laid out by the railroad when<br />

The Navajo Nation<br />
Looking toward the future while preserving the past.<br />
Ya´a’atééh<br />
IN THE MIDST OF<br />
four sacred mountains bounded<br />
by four great rivers lies the<br />
Navajo Nation. A land of stark beauty and contrast, it is larger in land area than some eastern<br />
states. It covers 27,000 square miles in parts of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado;<br />
and is the largest tribal land in the country.<br />
Though they were once reduced to a population of only about 8,000, the Diné, as the<br />
people call themselves, number over a quarter of a million today. They are a people dedicated<br />
to preserving the ways of the past while looking toward the future.<br />
The Navajo Nation is home to some 15 national monuments, tribal parks and historical<br />
sites. The Bisti Badlands and De-Na-Zin Wilderness, Monument Valley Tribal Park and<br />
Rainbow Bridge National Monument are just a few of the fascinating places to see. For water<br />
sports enthusiasts, there are a dozen different lakes and ponds for fishing. Lake Powell, in the<br />
northwest corner, has more miles of shoreline than the entire west coast.<br />
The rugged, spellbinding beauty of the land combined with the history, distinctive lifestyle,<br />
colorful cultural events, and incomparable craftsmanship of its native people will make your<br />
visit to the Navajo Nation an unforgettable experience.<br />

CHOOSE FROM THE BEST<br />
best that four states have to offer. Ski the slopes at Purgatory in the winter.<br />
Ride the Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in summer. If water sports are<br />
more to your liking, head for the San Juan River, Navajo Lake or Vallecito<br />
Lake. Breathtaking scenery is available year round.<br />
This is the Four Corners, where the state lines of Arizona, Colorado, New<br />
Mexico and Utah all meet at one point. At Four Corners Monument you can<br />
tour four states in just moments, but that’s only the beginning of the time<br />
you’ll want to spend here.<br />
The Apache, Navajo and Ute people are native to this region, but they were<br />
not the first tribes here. Visit Chaco Culture National Historic Park and<br />
Mesa Verde National Park to glimpse what civilization was like a thousand<br />
years ago. Both these places are designated World Heritage Sites. The<br />
Canyon de Chelly and Aztec Ruins National Monuments also provide<br />
insights into the lifestyles of the early Anasazi and the later Navajo people.<br />
The views here are mind numbing in scale. Spectacular Shiprock rises 1500<br />
feet above the valley floor. Monument Valley and Canyonlands were subjects<br />
of Ansel Adams photographs and backgrounds for many western movies.<br />
This is the West at its best.<br />

El Paso,Texas<br />
A CITY OF ROMANCE<br />
AND ADVENTURE<br />
FOR EXPLORERS PAST<br />
present and future, El Paso, Texas, is the gateway to the old west and the “avenida” to Mexico<br />
and the Americas. As the world’s largest border metroplex, El Paso/Juárez offers an incredible<br />
array of international art, culture, shopping, food and entertainment.<br />
The Plaza Monumental bullfight arena in Juárez and the horserace track at Sunland Park highlight<br />
the depth of entertainment options that also include Sun Bowl football, hiking, biking and<br />
picnicking in the 24,000-acre Franklin Mountains State Park, and casino gaming. El Paso’s performing<br />
arts, galleries, museums and fiestas provide the city with leading entertainers and shows<br />
throughout the year and cultural diversity unique to its international status.<br />
Named by Spanish colonizer Don Juan de Onate in 1598, El Paso del Rio del Norte became<br />
an important stop on the trade route from Mexico City and Chihuahua to Santa Fe, New<br />
Mexico. Following New Mexico’s pueblo revolt, some of the Indians followed the Spanish back<br />
to El Paso, settled on the Tigua Reservation and were responsible for building the missions<br />
of Ysleta.<br />
The excitement, the history and the intrigue of El Paso’s location at the transition of Mexico<br />
and the Old West elevate the city to a lifestyle class all its own. Rough and tumble Old West<br />
El Paso is the gateway<br />
to the old west and the “avenida”<br />
to Mexico and the Americas<br />

The Arizona<br />
White Mountains<br />
RISING HIGH ABOVE THE CEN<strong>TRA</strong>L ARIZONA DESERT, THE SCENIC<br />
White Mountains of eastern Arizona join the rugged mountain ranges of western<br />
New Mexico to provide an enormous pristine region for urban stress relief and<br />
outdoor recreation. Encompassed by the world’s largest stand of Ponderosa Pine<br />
and reaching elevations of 11,500 feet, the White Mountains are peppered with<br />
85 lakes and over 800 miles of clear mountain streams and rivers. Fishing, hunting,<br />
hiking, biking, golfing, horseback riding, camping and a full array of winter<br />
sports are all part of the outdoor package that compliments the deep-rooted historic<br />
and cultural aspects of the region.<br />
The Apaches offer gaming at Hon-Dah and world-class downhill and crosscountry<br />
skiing at Sunrise Park. Snowmobile, sleigh areas and ice fishing spots are<br />
found throughout the region. An impressive 180-mile system of interconnected,<br />
year-round, multi-use trails are accessible to hikers, bikers, cross-country skiers<br />
and horseback riders in the Pinetop-Lakeside area.<br />
The St. Johns Museum, Renee Cushman Art Museum, the Little House<br />
Museum, Ft. Apache, the Kinishba and Casa Malpais ruins provide a historic perspective<br />
of the area ranging from the prehistoric Anasazi through the Old West<br />
renegades and pioneers.<br />
Take a drive through meadows of spring flowers or past the fall colors of turning<br />
aspen. Peer across the valleys from the Mogollon Rim Overlook. One visit will<br />
reveal a hundred reasons to return.<br />

Pinetop-Lakeside<br />
Scenic mountain beauty<br />
RECOGNIZED AS A<br />
SMALL RESORT COMMUNITY,<br />
PINETOP-LAKESIDE SITS IN THE<br />
heart of the White Mountain recreation area. Surrounded by fishing lakes, streams and trail systems,<br />
the community is just three miles from the Hon-Dah Casino and 30 miles from the Sunrise Park winter<br />
sports complex. Its 69 lodging facilities and 14 RV and mobile home parks are essentially dedicated<br />
to tourism and recreational activities.<br />
Perched at 7200’ in elevation amidst the world’s largest stand of Ponderosa Pine, a unique 180-mile<br />
interconnecting multi-use trail system was developed through Pinetop-Lakeside that experiences yearround<br />
usage. The non-motorized loops and trails were designed to protect the delicate land, vegetation<br />
and wildlife of the area while providing forest access to hikers, bikers, cross-country skiers and<br />
horseback riders.<br />
Usually avoiding the use of clichés, Pinetop-Lakeside is nothing less than a fisherman’s paradise.<br />

many lakes dotting the White Mountain region.<br />

Hundreds of miles of clear mountain<br />
streams and over 40 pristine lakes are within<br />
a 40-mile radius. Woodland Lake Park<br />
includes a boat launch and wheelchairaccessible<br />
fishing pier, and Rainbow Lake<br />
provides boat rentals.<br />
Pinetop-Lakeside has its own 18-hole<br />
golf course and area stables provide horseback<br />
riding, wagon, carriage and hayrides as<br />
well as outdoor cooking opportunities.<br />
Yes, Sunrise Park has a high-speed quad<br />
chairlift and separate snowboarding and<br />
children’s areas. Excellent downhill and<br />
cross-country skiing are spread across three<br />
mountains, 65 runs and 13 miles of crosscountry<br />
ski trails.<br />
Tours of Ft. Apache, built in 1870, and<br />
the thousand-year-old Kinishba Ruins are<br />
available through the Apache tribe. The scenic<br />
Mogollon Rim Overlook is located just<br />
2 miles north of Pinetop-Lakeside.<br />
A daytrip to Petrified Forest National<br />
Park and the Painted Desert reveals the<br />
greatest and most colorful concentration of<br />
petrified wood in the world. A trip to the<br />
Rene Cushman Art Museum, the Little<br />
House Museum and the Casa Malpais<br />
Indian Ruins in the Springerville/Eager area<br />
will fill one day and the museums in Show<br />
Low and Snowflake should be included on<br />
another.<br />
The fishing and hiking in Pinetop-<br />
Lakeside are about as good as it gets, but as<br />
a person fans out, the adventure grows by<br />
adding gaming, winter sports, mountain<br />
vistas, and historic experiences.<br />
