One of the country's most sparsely populated states, New Mexico's amazing desert and mountain landscapes are unspoiled and dotted with historic sites. New Mexico, which became the 47th state in 1912, was the real Old West, populated by prospectors, cowboys and outlaws with sheriffs on their trails. Today, New Mexico is a popular destination for its stunning vistas and enduring Native American culture.
