Another 32 miles away is Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas. Take an independent or guided tour through the caves.

Once at White Sands/Las Cruces, you are only 30 minutes away from Carlsbad Caverns National Park.

The museum educates on the history of agriculture in the state, and has farm animals. At the end of the day, you can spend the night in Las Cruces, where you can visit the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Museum. Here, you can spend the day hiking and exploring the white sand dunes of New Mexico. The sanctuary is home to a variety of rescued farm animals that you can meet during a scheduled tour.Īfter spending a day at the sanctuary, you can begin to travel south (205 miles) to White Sands National Park. It is a true bed and breakfast and includes a vegan breakfast in the morning. If traveling from north to south, you could start your trip at Santuario de Karuna, just east of Albuquerque, and stay at the Sanctuary Inn Airbnb. The state of New Mexico is home to two national parks and a handful of animal sanctuaries. After this, you can visit another one of the many animal sanctuaries near Los Angeles, or travel farther north to Yosemite National Park. Schedule a tour to meet the rescued farm animals and learn about animal agriculture. Next, you can drive up to Acton to visit Farm Sanctuary, the second of Gene Baur’s sanctuaries. Starting from the south, you can spend the day at Joshua Tree National Park.

I am focusing on just Southern California because the state is so big and has more things to do than I could list (and is the only part I’ve been to).
