What to pack

What September feels like

The State Fair runs most of the month at Expo New Mexico and it is the local kind of fair — green chile cheeseburgers, rodeo, mutton bustin'. The heat backs off, the storms wind down, and the light takes on the clean high-desert quality that gets people planning October.

Real rain shows up about 3 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
