Alegria residents can travel to these old places on the state's beautiful scenic byways, stopping at one (or several) of New Mexico's national and state parks and monuments along the way. There are dormant volcanoes, ancient lava flows, ice caves, fossil sites, archeological digs, and unique geology throughout New Mexico, just waiting to be explored. At Alegria, the opportunities to play outdoor sports and recreation are as varied as the state's terrain. Alegria residents can enjoy both indoor and outdoor pools, a year-round Jacuzzi, bocce ball, horse shoes, and miles of walking and biking trails. The club house is also an important part of every day life at Alegria. It’s the central meeting place for all the residents and a great place from which to watch the snow fall in the winter, while warming yourself by the fire place. Don’t be mistaken, though, because winter doesn’t last long in New Mexico. Few states can claim to have six of the Earth's seven climatic zones as we do, nor are they blessed with the towering mountains that soar above New Mexico's high desert plains. In addition, New Mexico’s clear, blue skies invite balloonists and glider pilots to soar on the wind. The Rocky Mountain skiing is unmatched in our area, with its soft powder and variety of terrain types.
