Hotels in Deming

Between volcanic boulders at City of Rocks State Park and treasure hunting at Rockhound State Park, this desert town offers geological wonders that seem dropped from another planet. The Great American Duck Race brings quirky Americana to life each year, drawing crowds to what might otherwise be a quiet stopover. Delve into regional history at the Deming Luna Mimbres Museum, where artifacts tell tales of the Southwest's diverse cultural heritage. Wine enthusiasts can sample local vintages at St. Clair Winery, a surprising oasis amid the arid landscape. After a day exploring, Trees Lake provides a peaceful spot to watch the desert sunset paint the sky in impossible colors. The surrounding wilderness rewards hikers with solitude and vistas that stretch to the Mexican border.
