Famed as the site of a purported UFO crash in 1947, the Roswell of today offers much more than alien research opportunities. A handful of museums and arts venues lend this small desert city robust cultural life, while lakes and hills outside town provide recreational opportunities and a chance to encounter Southwestern wildlife. Some of New Mexico's top attractions remain accessible on day trips, making a Roswell vacation attractive to visitors of both the terrestrial and extraterrestrial nature. Roswell is in New Mexico. Plan your holiday in Roswell and other destinations, from the rural, to the urban, and everything in between, using our United States travel route builder website.
