Roswell, New Mexico has more to offer to vacationers besides UFOs.
A family recently visited Roswell during their vacation last month and recounted their visit to in an article at TravelPulse.
It begins with:
When our family planned this summer’s vacation trip out west, we quickly settled on New Mexico, as it was a place the kids had never been, and it offered a range of activities—from hiking and national monuments to urban retreats, like Albuquerque and Santa Fe. After studying the map for a while, I suggested that we take a side trip to a famous—or perhaps infamous—small town with a big reputation: Roswell.
Mention Roswell to almost anyone and their response will probably involve UFOs. The city in southeastern New Mexico is a long, lonely drive from most anywhere and boasts not quite 50,000 residents.
Its claim to fame is the 1947 crash of what some believe was a UFO, but that the government insists was a weather balloon. Conspiracy theorists have had a field day with the story for more than seven decades now.
Because we were traveling with our kids, ages 11 and 17, I thought the side trip would be a fun, if somewhat a cheeseball adventure. And my partner, who’s always up for anything new, agreed that it would be an interesting addition to our trip.
