What part of the state?
The San Juan river is a must if you seek world class fly fishing. https://www.newmexico.org/listing/san-juan-river/1824/ |

Any part is fine. San Juan river would be cool. How are the crowds in the summer? As bad as I’m imagining? |

It’s been a lot slower the last few years.
It definitely doesn’t draw the crowds it used to. I’d recommend a guide and float the river. Worth the money. Don’t stay out there. Get a nicer place in Farmington or even Aztec. From there, you can spend some time in Durango, or Pagosa Springs (a little farther). I hate promoting Colorado, but it’s less than an hour away and there is a lot to do. Beautiful mountains Chama is also a great place. You can take the train up into Colorado, or spend some time up in the sargents. Great wildlife viewing. https://www.wildlife.state.nm.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Ed-Sargent-WA-WMA-NMDGF.pdf |

I think you'd enjoy Silver City located in the Southwest corner of the state. It's a two-hour drive from Las Cruces. You'll take US-180 W out of Deming off I-10 W. Silver City borders on the three-million acre Gila National Forest.
As you depart, you can either backtrack to Deming and take NM-26 N to I-25 N via Hatch (Chile Capital of the World) or take scenic NM-152 N to catch I-25 N to Albuquerque, Sante Fe, and beyond. General Information Visit Silver CityLodging Not sure about your budget, but the Bear Mountain Lodge is beautiful, Bear Mountain LodgeThere are a couple of historic hotels right in downtown Silver City including the Palace Hotel and the Murray Hotel, Murray HotelRestaurants Given that "food" was on your list, here's my ARFCOM Silver City Restaurants thread, Silver City RestaurantsThe following restaurants should be considered a must, The Jalisco CafeThere are several other very good restaurants including, Adobe Springs Cafe (breakfast / lunch)All of the restaurants are within walking distance of the downtown hotels with the exception of The Buckhorn (which is well worth the drive). Skim through my Silver City Restaurants thread for a complete list of recommendations. Events Tour of the Gila, April 27 – May 1, 2022Other Events Silver City EventsNote: You'll be at 6,000' of elevation (minimum). Train accordingly. Wherever your travels may take you, I hope you enjoy the Land of Enchantment.
