When you land
Things to do in Las Cruces
Las Cruces is New Mexico’s second-largest city, set in the fertile Mesilla Valley along the Rio Grande beneath the jagged spires of the Organ Mountains. New Mexico State University is a major employer, and the surrounding desert is one of the country’s most important testing grounds: White Sands Missile Range, NASA’s White Sands Test Facility and Spaceport America all lie within reach. Agriculture remains central, with vast pecan orchards lining the river and the chile fields of Hatch just up the valley, and a mild, sunny climate has made the city a popular place to retire.
