The opportunities for outdoor sports and recreation in New Mexico are as varied as its terrain.
Few states can boast six of the seven life zones on earth.
Nor are many areas blessed with high altitude mountains while being one of the southernmost states in the continental United States. Hiking and biking can be done in almost any region of the state using trails on mesa tops, desert canyons or high mountain meadows. Numerous lakes and streams beckon anglers fishing for trout, bass, walleye or catfish. Hunting ranges from the mule deer to elk or the exotic oryx and ibex. Water enthusiasts can windsurf, water ski, Jet Ski, scuba dive or just swim.
