Santa Rosa

Here in Northeast New Mexico, where the Great Plains rise up to meet the Rockies, lies a startling oasis. Amid the red mesas is an unusual array of spring-fed lakes, from clear mineral springs to the Blue Hole, famous for scuba diving, to the man-made Santa Rosa Lake. This ranching area on the banks of the Pecos River is full of surprises, from its legacy of railroading to cowboying and wild beauty. Halfway between Albuquerque and Amarillo, travelers stop off in Santa Rosa, some for a few days, and some forever.

Though Billy the Kid's shots no longer ring out and Route 66 has given way to I-40, some things haven't changed. Whether you stay for a few days or settle in permanently, you'll love the down-home friendliness of the little city on the banks of the Pecos.

We welcome you to enjoy the best of Santa Rosa, from its native New Mexican and American restaurants to its collection of lakes and its unsurpassed Southwestern hospitality.
