Las Cruces, New Mexico Bed and Breakfasts
Home > Find a B&B > By City > Las Cruces, New Mexico

The dramatic Organ Mountains form an eastern backdrop to New Mexico's second largest city and the lush Mesilla Valley that surrounds it, where the sun shines 350 days a year. Ask your innkeepers about the fascinating New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum, a working ranch depicting the role of agriculture in New Mexico since earlier times. Spend a day exploring the shops and restaurants around the Old Mesilla Plaza, where Billy the Kid was tried for murder. Your innkeepers can also recommend the best tee times at the four golf courses in this sunny college city, as well as the places to go for fresh Hatch green chile. New Mexico State University with several museums and galleries is located here, as is Stahmann pecan farms with its store and tours of its orchards and facilities.

Be sure to visit White Sands National Monument, perhaps another wonder of the world, a short 50-mile drive to the east. Then there's El Paso, Texas, hardly an hour to the south. Within two hours of Las Cruces are White Sands Missile Range and museum, Alamogordo, Holloman Air Force Base, Cloudcroft at 9,000 feet, Tularosa and its pistachio farms, Deming, and Silver City. Mexico is also less than a 2-hour drive away. Cuidad Juarez is across the Rio Grande River from El Paso, with Palomas only a few steps across the border from Columbus, just south of Deming. Pancho Villa attacked tiny Columbus in 1916.
