New Mexico Magazine

The original state magazine

New Mexico Magazine is published monthly and features topics from around the Land of Enchantment, including our multicultural heritage, arts, climate, environment and diverse people.

The award-winning magazine, in partnership with the New Mexico Tourism Department, also publishes the official New Mexico Vacation Guide and the International Vacation Guides (translated into Spanish, French, German, Italian and Japanese).

Functioning as an enterprise fund in state government, the magazine is self-sufficient with virtually no funding from the taxpayer other than office space. Founded in 1923, New Mexico Magazine reigns as the longest-tenured state magazine in the United States, while ranking as the third-largest state-owned publication in circulation.

With more than 100,000 qualified readers, the magazine enjoys one of the highest renewal rates in the industry. The operation also sells products, including books and calendars, through its catalog and Web site.

My Secret Place - April 2009

The Magic of Staurolite Canyon

by Justine MooreNew Mexico Magazine

Apr 2, 2009

By Justine Moore, as told to Devon Jackson
My first impulse for a secret place is to say “any rooftop in New Mexico.” When I go back there, I like to just get up on a roof and take everything in.

There’s another Staurolite Canyon near Hondo Canyon, but this one’s different.

Gary Gorence, Desert Trippin'

by Emily DrabanskiNew Mexico Magazine

Apr 2, 2009

I first caught a performance by Gorence about 24 years ago; what struck me then, and still does now, is his steady, reflective manner—an almost unflappable presence of cowboy Zen.

Story and Photography
By Lesley S. King

A billboard on the outskirts of the northern New Mexico village of Tierra Amarilla reads “Tierra o Muerte”—land or death—and is adorned with a tough, dark-eyed pistolero. It’s an apt image for an area whose settlement required such tenacity. Even today, burly men and independent women predominate, most driving four-by-four trucks.

Steven F. Havill

by EditorNew Mexico Magazine

Apr 2, 2009

Born in upstate New York and now based in Ratón, novelist Steven F. Havill has written 15 mystery novels set in the fictional New Mexico county of Posadas.

In the latest entry in the Posadas County series, The Fourth Time Is Murder (St. Martin’s Minotaur, 2008), Reyes-Guzman investigates a car accident involving a stranger who has mysteriously disappeared.
