10 Most Neighborly Towns In New Mexico

This compact town sits alongside the Rio Grande River in Sierra County of southwestern New Mexico, around 60 miles north-northwest of Las Cruces. Titled ‘Hot Springs’ at the time of its settlement in the mid-nineteenth century with respect to its conspicuous mineral-laden hot springs, the town was retitled ‘Truth or Consequences’ on March 31, 1950, after Ralph Livingstone Edwards’s well-liked NBC Radio quiz show. During your tour, stop by the assorted art galleries like The Center Gallery Fine Art, spend the night at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Truth or Consequences, and engage in leisure activities at the adjoining Elephant Butte Lake State Park.
