UNM People & Places

There is no shortage of ways to get out there and get your blood pumping. Skiing and hiking. Right outside your back door. Rock climbing, or how about biking? Morning, noon and into the night, if you like. Rafting, canoeing, ballooning. You decide when, we can tell you where. With over 310 days of sunshine, the only things around here that will keep you from getting out and immersing yourself in open-air adventures are the limits you set. g o . u nm . e d u /g e t aw a y g o . u nm . e d u /e n t e r t a i nm e n t GETAWAY ADVENTURES Let’s go.
