One of the greatest things about living in Las Cruces is the great mountains New Mexico features so near by. The trip to Ruidoso or Cloudcroft allows Las Cruces residents to get away to trees and cool weather. Las Cruces is also a quick trip to Silvercity and the Gila Wilderness. Lance Armstrong is finding out first hand about the area as he competes in the "Tour of the Gila". The 7 consecutive Tour de France winner has competed in this race before so he knows about the high elevation and difficult course. What a great oppurtunity for Southern New Mexico to host one of Americas most dominate athletes.
