New Mexico tourism

Whether you’re driving from Gallup to Flagstaff or Flagstaff to Phoenix the app created by former educator George R. Joe, called “Tribal Trailz” serves as your audio tour guide while you’re on the road. The app gives tourists an opportunity to learn about historic roadways, including Route 66, and gain insight on Native American cultures.

The state Tourism Department Wednesday announced the recipients of $3.5 million dollars in marketing grants. The majority of the funds will be used to encourage visiting rural New Mexico.
