Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near New Mexico

While in New Mexico, you might enjoy a visit to:

In the Santa Fe Trail Museum, occupied by a glamour mannequin

Acre after acre of big, oddly-shaped rocks, including "Toilet Rock" and others too awkward to mention.
~22 miles from Silver City.

This is one of the most obscure, remote monuments in America, marking the spot where "the flying paper boy of the Guadalupes" crashed.

Smokey Bear was both a cartoon character and a real bear. Although a cartoon lives forever, the real bear died during the Bicentennial year and is buried here.
~166 miles from Silver City.
