New Mexico offers some seriously diverse terrain and plenty of public land. High plateaus with deep valleys, a Rocky Mountain region with rugged climbs and a vast, high desert to play on are a few of the reasons New Mexico is such a popular place to load up in an ATV, UTV or 4X4 and find a trail. You just have to decide what kind of off-road adventure you want to take. So whether you want to find a trail in the middle of nowhere, or decide on trying out one of the off-road parks, you won’t be disappointed.
