New Mexico offers a bounty of natural wonders, most notably the Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque. The 17-acre park features several dormant fissure volcanoes and rock carvings known as petroglyphs. In Roswell, visitors can explore whether aliens have landed on earth at the International UFO Museum and Research Center or walk through the Roswell Museum and Art Center, where artifacts of the Southwest U.S. are on display.
