5 days in Las Cruces Itinerary

Las Cruces, also known as "The City of the Crosses", is the seat of Doña Ana County, New Mexico, United States. Get outdoors at White Sands National Park and Soledad Canyon Day Use Area. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park and Museum of Nature & Science. Venture out of the city with trips to Mimbres River Preserve (in Silver City) and Aguirre Spring Campground (in Organ). There's still lots to do: admire the majestic nature at Rockhound State Park, appreciate the history behind Recycled Roadrunner Sculpture, stop by Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wine, and examine the collection at The Zuhl Museum.
