It's family season, days are hot and dry, and affordable rooms are scarce. The good news: evenings are cool and the shops and museums can accommodate everyone.
Off Season: September to November
This is the best time to visit New Mexico. Fall means thinner crowds, cooler days, lower rates and, beginning in October, fall color.
Sweet Spot: December to April
Good snowfall, sunny days, and families on holiday spell crowds, but many properties offer worthwhile ski and stay package deals during this time.
