or go through Hillsboro for a scenic mountain drive to Silver City. The cliff dwellings are near. Ruidoso is not far either.
My mom's ashes are near the tiny town of White Oaks, outside Carrizozo.
PS: if you go to Las Cruces again, visit the old Mesilla area, good bars and food, music in the plaza on weekends.
