In 1897, Frederick Webb Hodge proved them wrong by finding signs of habitation atop the plateau. Today called "Enchanted Mesa," it presents one of the better examples of a lost world to be found in New Mexico. But there are so many more. Northwestern New Mexico hosts the ancient ruins of Chaco Canyon, the stone towers of Gallinas, and a spectral white pueblo hidden amongst the lava-scarred malpais, while northeastern New Mexico houses a portal to the underworld at Urraca Mesa. The southern portion of the state sports the mysterious rock art of Three Rivers, and the ever-shifting White Sands conceal a mythical oasis. And, from a forgotten petrified forest in Fort Sumner to a lost river in Roswell, even Southeastern New Mexico harbors a few lost worlds. Within this book, explore them all...
