With an average of 287 Days of Sunshine, outdoor activities abound throughout Alamogordo and all of Otero County.  Located in the high desert at the base of the Sacramento Mountains, Alamogordo is the perfect location to “set up camp” to enjoy all the incredible adventures and life the area has to offer. Only 15 minutes from Alamogordo, one of the world's great natural wonders rises from the desert, White Sands National Monument. The glistening white sands and wave-like dunes of white gypsum cover 275 square miles of the desert and are an incredible sight to see. Enjoy hiking, biking, camping, picnicking & sledding or the picturesque sunset strolls & full moon night events at this breathtaking location. Alamogordo is home to the oldest zoo in the southwest, Alameda Park Zoo, and dozens of mountain trails that range in use from hiking, pack/saddle, mountain biking, motorcycle, and ATV riding. And because of our beautiful weather, golf is a year-round sport at Desert Lakes Golf Course. Take in a show at the Flickinger Center, shop in our MainStreet district or spend an afternoon in one of our beautiful museums, such as the New Mexico Museum of Space History or the Tularosa Basin Museum of History. 

Whether it is the great weather and wide-open spaces, or the history and amazing people of this area, Alamogordo is a great place to visit, live or start a business. We hope you come join us soon.
