New Mexico is home to some absolutely stunning landscapes. Places like Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness showcase otherworldly scenes, Carlsbad Caverns illustrate a subterranean wonderland, and White Sands National Park is simply a blindingly beautiful sight.

The lesser-known and visited locations, however, are some of our favorites. And that’s just how we would categorize Echo Amphitheater.

A towering sandstone cliff that gently curves along a mesa, this natural wonder has a super short trail, picnic areas, and a small campsite.

Cris Sleightholm/Google The amphitheater is a wonder, looking as though someone scooped a chunk of sandstone from a recessed portion of the landmark.

Here, you’ll find a small, wheelchair and stroller-friendly trail paved in concrete.
