New Mexico residents like it traditional\u2014which means chili powder. Why do you think they call it \u201chot\u201d chocolate?<\/p>\n<h2>6.      The Landscapes Can Change In The Blink Of An Eye<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-6.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons Artotem<\/div>\n<p>Ask any New Mexico resident about what weather they like the best and the answer would be \u201call of it,\u201d without the cold, of course. Yes, there\u2019s a lot of desert, but New Mexico has some of the most breathtaking pine forests and mountains too.<\/p>\n<h2>7.      Hot Springs Are The Best Therapy Ever<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-7.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons snowpeak<\/div>\n<p>Residents of New Mexico don\u2019t really need in-home hot tubs or Jacuzzis. All they need to do is head over to the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs spa, where the \u201cahhhh\u201d is all natural.<\/p>\n<h2>8.      Frito Pies Are Beyond Amazing<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-8.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Paul Sableman<\/div>\n<p>As much as residents love versatility in their cuisine, they\u2019re also big on convenience, something quick to toss up for savory Mexican food. The iconic Frito pie, sort of a walking taco, exemplifies that to a tee for many residents, especially when Anthony Bourdain himself tried one at the Santa Fe\u2019s Five &amp; Dime Festival store and figured he had tasted a culinary one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n<h2>9.      The Sangre de Cristos Mountains Should Be A World Wonder<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-9.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user David Herrera<\/div>\n<p>Ever seen red mountains before? Not just reddish, but blazing red. It has to do with the sun reflecting on the warm colors of New Mexico, but these mountains will make just about anybody gaze in awe, including residents who see it every day.<\/p>\n<h2>10.  Buying Everything At The Santa Fe Indian Market<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-10.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Michael Poley<\/div>\n<p>The people of New Mexico get their annual trip to the Santa Fe Indian Market started with joy eating as much of the fry bread as they can, and then take that energy to shop at the 600 booths offering everything from pottery to jewelry to photography.<\/p>\n<h2>11. Picking Their Favorite Margarita  <\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-11.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Melissa Wiese<\/div>\n<p>You can\u2019t really live in New Mexico without liking margaritas. Even in this state, though, there are contenders for the top spot, and many seem to love all versions around, such as in La Choza in Santa Fe. Whatever the case, just know this: salt the rim, lick your lips, and prepare for a kick of old-fashioned Mexico.<\/p>\n<h2>12.  San Miguel Mission Church Is Living History<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-12.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons Bamse<\/div>\n<p>Many residents are deeply religious, spiritually soaking in silence and meditation better than anybody else. The thick, ancient adobe walls, too, of quite possibly the oldest church in the entire nation, the San Miguel Mission Church, does make it quite easy to focus solely on your own soul. How old is the church? Try since the year 1610.<\/p>\n<h2>13.  New Mexico Pi\u00f1on Coffee Beans Are Better Than Your Coffee Beans<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-13.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user miheco<\/div>\n<p>Forget your Maxwell House and Folgers. New Mexico residents don\u2019t care for the French roast much when they have these types of beans to brew. Many simply order in bulk online.<\/p>\n<h2>14. Knowing Their Snack Food Is The Food Of The Gods<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-14.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: The ABC Cake Shop &amp; Bakery<\/div>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably guessed by now that food is a big deal with New Mexico residents, but snacking is practically a religion, especially when it&#8217;s biscochitos and chicharrones. Doritos and Oreos don\u2019t match up to them at all.<\/p>\n<h2>15.  Adventure Awaits On The Cumbres &amp; Toltec Scenic Railroad<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-15.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons Carvinrocks2<\/div>\n<p>You\u2019ll discover pretty soon as you traverse the landscapes of New Mexico that it\u2019s not necessarily about the destination; it\u2019s about the journey. New Mexico residents like to make the most out of their journeys, which is why they\u2019ll often experience autumn in all its splendor on this scenic railroad experience.<\/p>\n<h2>16.  The Shiprock Takes Your Breath Away, Every Time<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-16.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons Bowie Snodgrass<\/div>\n<p>Only here can you experience something like a big boulder mixed with a mountain, and undoubtedly it would take your breath away. For a bit of a reminder at how beautiful the Earth really can be, residents visit Shiprock \u2013 also known as Ts\u00e9 Bit\u2019a\u2019I in Navajo, which means \u201cwinged rock\u201d or \u201crock with wings\u201d \u2013 just for that breath-stealing sensation. It never fails.<\/p>\n<h2>17.  The Good Ol\u2019 Cowboy Days Come Alive At The New Mexico Farm &amp; Ranch Heritage Museum<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-17.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: New Mexico Farm &amp; Ranch Heritage Museum Facebook<\/div>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re in a room with a bunch of New Mexico residents \u2013 how many of them own a cowboy hat (or are wearing one)? Most likely all of them. It\u2019s no surprise that they love the ol\u2019 West better than any Sundance Kid or Butch Cassidy, and they\u2019ll often get their dose of it at this museum. \u00c1ndale!<\/p>\n<h2>18.  Yak Jerky Is A True Delicacy<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-18.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Taos Mountain Yak <\/div>\n<p>Beef jerky is delicious, for sure. You don\u2019t know jerky, though, until you talk to a resident of New Mexico about their love for yak jerky. Now that\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n<h2>19.  The White Sands National Monument Is 16 Miles Of Awesome <\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-19.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons M.Bucka<\/div>\n<p>You probably wouldn\u2019t see anything more unearthly and alien-like with beauty only the heavens could match. New Mexico has it here, and rest assured, residents love the 16-mile scenic drive, especially when the full moon\u2019s out. You begin to wonder if residents have the lowest stress levels in the entire nation, thanks to this national monument.<\/p>\n<h2>20. Knowing Unidentified Flying Objects Are Totally Real<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-20.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons AllenS<\/div>\n<p>This may be all about pride and joy, with fanaticism sprinkled in for good measure. Residents have a natural curiosity about the unknown, thanks to the happenings of Area 51 and Roswell, New Mexico. If you thought you contemplated alien life, you haven\u2019t met a local.<\/p>\n<h2>21.  The Warmth of A Kiva Fireplace Is The Best Thing Ever<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-21.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Jared Tarbell<\/div>\n<p>The architectural quality New Mexico residents have at their disposal rivals that of any metro professional in New York City or Chicago. Why? There\u2019s something simplistic, minimal, and calm about a kiva fireplace. Only with this style can a person feel silence as well as hear it.<\/p>\n<h2>22.  Yes, Bison Sausages Are A Real Thing<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-22.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons ChristianBier<\/div>\n<p>Yes, New Mexico residents are massive carnivores. Think about it: carne asada, pulled pork, yak jerky, you name it. Bison sausage, though? That makes those breakfast links look like Slim Jims. Another reason why breakfast is the biggest meal of the day for these people\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>23.  Horseback Riding Is Like Riding A Bike<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-23.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: New Mexico Farm &amp; Ranch Heritage Museum Facebook<\/div>\n<p>Some New Mexico residents practically know how to ride a horse before learning how to walk. You can bet you\u2019ll find them along the Valles Caldera National Preserve as well as the Baca Ranch.<\/p>\n<h2>24.  A Night Of Stargazing Is The Best Saturday Night<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-24.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons Hajor<\/div>\n<p>Because many cities out in desert land are quite scattered and isolated, there\u2019s a lot of open space, which is why residents have such a great opportunity to gaze at the stars. This is especially true given New Mexico is home to the Very Large Array in Socorro. Just look at the picture. That\u2019s the real deal.<\/p>\n<h2>25. Yes, That Was Probably Filmed In New Mexico Too   <\/h2>\n<p>Locals love the cinematic history of their state, and love to see it on the silver screen, mostly thanks to the Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch. Some of the best films and TV shows were filmed in the state, such as \u201cWyatt Earp,\u201d \u201cButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,\u201d \u201cLongmire,\u201d and \u201cYoung Guns.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>26.

That\u2019s where these Navajo blankets come into play, and you can bet residents enjoy wrapping themselves in one of these beauties.<\/p>\n<h2>27.  Being In Four Places At Once<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/newmexico-love\/newmexico-love-27.jpg\" alt=\"27 Things People in New Mexico Love\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikimedia Commons Jan Kronsell<\/div>\n<p>Kind of. Nowhere else could you find a place that lets you stand in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. It\u2019s pretty cool! Some residents sort of take pride in it, while tourists just take pictures of their kids looking like they\u2019re playing Twister. Each to their own.
