Nestled in the Four Corners of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona, Farmington provides some of the best hiking, biking and four wheel-drive paths around.
Farmington is home to Road Apple Rally, the oldest continually run mountain bike race in the United States. World-class fishing beckons fishermen to the San Juan, Animas and La Plata Rivers and area lakes, while golfers are tested at the five-star Pinon Hills Golf Course, rated one of the best municipal courses in the country.
The River Corridor provides seven miles of intersecting trails for walking or biking along the Animas River. Plaza areas host special activities throughout the year. The Riverside Nature Center allows for observation of birds and animals as well as education of the plants and ecosystems found along the river.
The Four Corners is a central location from which to explore ancient ruins sites such as Chaco Canyon. This area was a major regional center of the Ancestral Puebloan culture. The finely crafted masonry, associated great kivas and the Chacoan ‘roads’ are hallmarks of the magnificent Chacoan culture at this World Heritage Site. Aztec Ruins National Monument, Salmon Ruins and Mesa Verde National Park are all in close proximity to Farmington. Farmington truly has something for everyone. |
