Virtual Geologic Tour of New Mexico
These virtual geologic tours explore the high mountains of north-central New Mexico, the rugged mountains of southern New Mexico, and the wide open spaces of the eastern and northwestern parts of our state. The varied landscape of New Mexico is divided into six distinct physiographic provinces, each with characteristic landforms and a unique geologic history. We invite you to investigate points of geologic interest located in each province. Alternatively, you can tour the Federal parks, monuments, and rufuges, the State parks and monuments, and some of the distictive landmarks and landscapes in New Mexico. Enjoy your tour and visit again because we are adding to these pages frequently.
