Mesilla,
NM
Mesilla
is a small town by today's standards but, 150 years ago it
was the major stop for travelers going between San Antonio
and San Diego. Western Legend Billy the Kid once stood trial
for murder in a Mesilla courtroom, and the Mesilla Plaza was
once a major stop for the Butterfield Stagecoach.
Mesilla is just west of Las Cruces and is only about a ten
minute drive from the University or Hotel Encanto. If shopping
is your thing, Mesilla is the place to be. This historic gem
offers great shopping; including a Nambe outlet, jewelry,
clothes, books, wine, cooking, and local weaving.
A
trip to Las Cruces is not complete until you indulge in some
of our outstanding Mexican food. Mesilla is home to many great
restaurants, but we recommend either La Posta or The Double
Eagle. iole!
White
Sands National Monument
White
sands is truly something one must truly see to believe. Here,
winds from the east blow gypsum deposits from the dry Lake
Lucero, creating wave-like dunes of gypsum sand.
White
Sands National Monument is only a 30-40 minute drive from
Las Cruces.
