Southwestern New Mexico is a dramatic region of arid mountain ranges, vast waterless deserts, rugged and heavily timbered mountain ranges, wild creeks and rivers, and farm and ranch lands in use for thousands of years. It is home to an amazing diversity of wildlife, including javalina, coatimundi, cougars, bears, deer, elk, wolves, bobcats, fox, exotic oryx and ibex, snakes and scorpions, and over 330 species of birds. The darkness and clarity of the night sky, and the absolute quiet of the forest and desert are awesome reminders that, here, you are in the “forever frontier”.

Human history here reaches 11,000 years into the past, encompassing paleo-indian, basketmaker, Mogollon, Apache, Spanish, Mexican, and American cultures, out of which came pottery of “breathtaking loveliness”, as well as wars of unspeakable savagery, vast wealth and grinding poverty; a human story every bit as tumultuous as the last seventy million years of geological changes which created the southwest New Mexico landscape of today. This area was and is the wildest of the wild west. Indians, conquistadors, friars, trappers, buffalo soldiers, miners, ranchers, cowboys, and many others have played out their fates here, and we still do today.

As a visitor to this fascinating corner of New Mexico, how will you get out and experience the beauty, the vastness, and the stories of this rugged land? In a Steel Horse Adventure Tours Pinzgauer, of course!

What’s that, you ask? My Pinzgauer is a former Swiss Army troop transporter, with six wheel drive, that outperforms a Hummer. It is just possibly the best off-road vehicle ever, but is a comfortable, tame beast on the highway as well. “Pinzi” will take you and up to nine other guests out and back, wherever your interests and desires want to go. Look and learn, and leave the driving and guiding to us.
