New Mexico
Santa Fe's state
New Mexico is a state in the southwestern United States, bordered by Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Mexico, and Arizona.
Its landscape ranges from high desert to forested mountains, and its culture reflects centuries of Native American, Spanish, and Anglo influence.
Santa Fe, its capital, is one of the oldest cities in North America.
We drove through New Mexico on our way to California.
