After our stay in Alamogordo, we left on December 12, hoping to have a leisurely trip towards home. Our first stop was City of Rocks State Park, about 30 miles northwest of Deming. We intended to spend a day in Silver City, but it rained all day and was totally miserable. We stayed at City of Rocks for 3 nights, and our last day there enjoyed sunny weather and a nice hike among the rocks.
