n February (and again in May), I set off with edible writer Gabriella Marks, and Amy Tischler and Caitlin Jenkins, founders of @TravelNewMexico™ on Instagram, to discover what has become one of our new favorite destinations. @TravelNewMexico documents New Mexico road trips by inviting guest instagrammers to take over the account to share their unique experiences through imagery and stories. In the past, we have unearthed New Mexico’s unique gems of Silver City and Las Vegas. This year as I set to researching for our trip, only knowing we would be heading south, I stumbled upon a desert oasis that definitely fit our criteria, but that seemed too good to be true—Sunland Park. 78

I grew up in New Mexico but had never heard of Sunland Park, even on multiple trips to Juárez during my college days. On this journey, after weaving back and forth across New Mexico and Texas state lines, we found ourselves within the shadow of the fence at the Mexican border. You can read more about what we discovered in Sunland Park in the following pages, where Gabriella Marks reports on Ardovino’s Desert Crossing. But here, we illustrate our journey down south, sharing photos of all the discoveries we made along the way. Thanks to @TravelNewMexico for a great road trip collaboration! Follow them on Instagram as they post more about our trip.
