New Mexico is filled with gorgeous landscapes that will immediately take your breath away. While you can enjoy some of these views from the comfort of your own vehicle, to experience others, you may need to prepare yourself for a little adventure. There are several hiking trails around the Land of Enchantment that will lead you to some of the most magnificent overlooks and remarkable views. One of these trails is the Bosque Peak Trail in the Manzano Mountains.
