Quick Trips

Do you ever feel like you need to get out of the city, but don’t have much time or money? There are so many places just a few hours away from town that make for a great weekend getaway. One of the closest places to escape from the city is Santa Fe. Just a quick thirty-minute drive north, Santa Fe is filled with art galleries, great shopping, and great food. Http://www.seesantafe.org/ is a great website filled with information on places to see and eat. More long-term trips taking place farther away from the city limits can prove to be very refreshing. Places such as Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands are a couple of the hot spots in New Mexico that make for easy and fun trips. For more information on these stops check out http://www.nps.gov/whsa/ and www.nps.gov/cave/.

So grab some friends, hop in your car, and go someplace new! There is so much to experience outside of the city, and everyone always needs a break from the stresses of school and work.


Goals: Create ideas of places to travel to for students who desire to escape the city.
Audience: UNM and other college students that enjoy to travel, my English 220 class, and Professor Brandon.
How these goals are met: Giving examples of places of interest to travel to, why one would want to go there, and provide links to give more information.
