Arts, Entertainment, Recreation, and Tourism

The Middle Rio Grande region is a great place to visit if you enjoy spectacular scenic beauty, the arts, visiting cultural sites, soaking in healing hot springs, and participating in a variety of outdoor activities. Come experience outdoor activities for every fitness level – from birding, photographing, and golfing to hiking, cycling, hunting, boating, rock climbing, and more.

Our four mild seasons are conducive to being outdoors much of the year, with most of our major events occurring in Autumn and Spring. Immerse yourself in our rich history.

Native peoples lived and farmed here for centuries before the pilgrims even arrived at Plymouth Rock on the east coast of the United States. The Piro people began to channel the Rio Grande to irrigate crops and raised maize, beans, and calabash squash. The Mimbres people lived mainly in what is now Sierra County and we still have evidence of their beautiful pottery. Other native tribes who have been in the area for centuries are the Apache and Navajos.

Spanish traders passed through or settled in this region centuries later. Sheep and horses were introduced by the Spanish explorer Coronado in 1540, and later that century, Juan de Onate brought goats, oxen, sheep, and cattle from Mexico.

At the close of the 16th century, another herd arrived with permanent settlers; these “seed cattle” became the foundation for New Mexico’s livestock industry. The region was largely agrarian for centuries with farms and “estancias” (ranches) scattered throughout the region; some of these still exist today.

In the 20th century, mining and astronomy became major industries – hence our regional motto, “From the Cowboy Way to the Milky Way™.” You may find that you enjoy your visit so much that you decide to return, relocate or retire here, or even create a business!
