New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment with good reason. Pristine
wilderness landscapes range from painted desert to still alpine lakes and
steaming hot springs. Cliff dwellings, pueblos, and missions reflect the
influence of Native American and Hispanic culture, which still infuses New
Mexican life today. Albuquerque itself is bisected by the Rio Grande
under the watchful eye of the 10,679 feet high Sandia Mountains, which offer
endless outdoor fun including hiking, picnicking, mountain biking, rock
climbing, and cross-country skiing. UNM’s location in Albuquerque provides daily mountain vistas;
international cuisine, music, and dance; and New Mexican red and green chile. Discover more at https://unmfirst.unm.edu/why-choose-us/index.html.
