outlawphx 1 #5 October 25, 2005 They've got a nice racetrack just west of town where I've taken my sportbike to a few times. Other than the Motel6 and restaurants, I can't offer much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davedlg 0 #6 October 25, 2005 I spent quite a bit of time in Las Cruces for work at the begining of the summer. During the course of my work there, I drove every single street in town at least once, so I am intimately familiar with the town. I must say that I was surprised by the town. It was much nicer than I expected for the location it is in. It is obviouslly growing by leaps and bounds. There is a ton of new development on the east side of town. Housing prices seem quite reasonable too. Like any town of it's size there are good parts of town and bad parts of town. Being that it is a college town, there is quite a bit of diversity. The people there were, for the most part, very friendly. The organ mountains are to the east of town and make for a striking backdrop...espically at sunset. I never had the time to hike around the mountins, but it looked like there could be some great hiking there. The Gila Wilderness is about 100 miles from the town and there is some good backpacking there from what I understand. North of the town is Elephant Butte Reservoir. I understand this is a destination lake for many NM people (and the site of Skydive NM's annual H2O boogie too). I stopped by Skydive El Paso, which is a 182 dropzone about half an hour or so south of the town. The DZO (I cant remember his name now) seemed like a great guy and there was a nice group of jumpers there. Unfortunaly I wasnt able to make a jump while I was there.
