Dedicated to the interpretation of the Chihuahuan Desert, Living Desert State Parkis an indoor/outdoor living museum displaying more than 40 native animal speciesand hundreds of succulents from around the world. While on the 1.3 mile self-guided tour, which takes approximately 1.5 hours, visitors will discover sand dunesto the desert uplands, where pinon and juniper trees contrast with the desert floorbelow. Visit Maggie, the painting bear. She?s causing quite a stir with her colorful, abstract-style paintings in the southern New Mexico art community ? in fact, hundreds of her watercolor paintings have been sold to art aficionados across the country in less than a year. Though Maggie?s technique is rather unusual, what is most astonishing is not only the fact that she's less than two years old, but that she is a black bear."
