City of Rocks State Park & Deming

Take highway 61 south along the beautiful Mimbres Valley to City of Rocks State Park, about 25 miles south. They have a interesting visitors’ center, and the park itself looks like where the Flinstone’s may have lived.  It is a great place to hike and explore the rock formations.  There are many places for a picnic lunch.

Continue on to the City of Deming and be sure to take in their amazing museum. They have many collections, very neatly displayed, and great volunteers!  Plan an hour or so!  Rock Hound State Park is located near Deming, and is a great place to pick up some unique rocks to take home!  Deming has two awesome wineries, Luna Rosa and St. Clair.  Check out the Adobe Deli for some great steaks and a very unique atmosphere, or check out Las Conzuelas (next to Denny’s Restaurant) for the freshest beef, fish, and poultry lunch or dinners in town! They also have very good Mexican food. Our Susieville Grass-Fed Beef is available at the El Rey Meat Market located in the same building.  

Palomas, Mexico is about 30 minutes south of Deming. 

Just across the border is the Pink Store and it has great Mexican food and lots, and lots of Mexican home decorations you can buy. Bring your passport! We suggest you park on the U.S. side of the border and walk across to the Pink Store as you need special vehicle insurance across the border. Just on the U.S. side of the border, we have Columbus, NM and the Poncho Villa State Park and brand new museum!
