You really need to see it at ground level and drive up. Walking down inside of the caldera is also quite an experience. We ended up seeing a few deer and a mountain lion up on the sides. Fun story, when we were hiking up and around the rim we saw a thunderstorm begin forming on the plains nearby at near our altitude. Being that high up and seeing the formation so close and begin at near eye level was something to behold. I'll attach a picture. There is another couple of dormant volcanoes to the south but are on private property if I remember correctly. My wife and I decided this area would be a great place to retire for those who like peace and quiet with a view and not feeling like you're in a desert. Haha.

I love the state so much I make the drive home to Idaho when time allows just to be able to drive through NM and Southern Utah and consider that part of my vacation.
You must of read my post history to find out where we're moving to.

I'm with you at least one the part where you said once you've seen a few miles of Texas you've seen the majority of it. This is why I always recommend very specific places to out-of-staters who want to visit Texas because most of it is pretty boring. I suppose that's a result of the state being so large, you're bound to have boring stuff in it.

El estado de Coahuila where my family came from. Always awesome every time I have gone since I was little, and where I spent my summer vacations from school. The people, the food, the culture, the beautiful desert and Sierra Madre, everything!!

Oklahoma, far western panhandle. OK has homeschooling guaranteed in its constitution.

I mean if money wasn’t an object, id be living outside of Santa Fe no doubt. I also really enjoy SE Oklahoma, so I wouldn’t mind Tulsa and I can go to Broken Bow or Arkansas. I know people **** on OK and it definitely has its issues but I don’t think it’s that bad..but I’m from Montana so I’m partial to the Rockies.

? Im guessing you must not enjoy being outside?

LA has a cool local culture and NOLA is neat, but its one of the most borring states in the country scenery wise with some of the worst weather too.

Ive never heard anyone describe Louisiana as "Exciting"

I definitely do, which is why I also chose Louisiana, as I love the humidity and don't care for dry weather and scenery. No place is for everyone.
