Here is what is happening for film producers
Overlooking
Las Cruces from the east are the Organ Mountains, a haven for hikers
and adventure seekers alike. The Organs, which rise to over 9,000 feet
in elevation, are so named because of the steep, needle-like spires
that resemble the pipes of an organ. This picturesque area of rocky
peaks, narrow canyons and open woodlands shelters the Dripping Springs
Natural Area, noted for its “weeping walls
Old Mesilla
Mesilla is a small town by today's standards but, 150 years ago it was the major stop for travelers going between San Antonio and San Diego. Mesilla hasn't changed much over the years, allowing visitors to see what an 1800’s border town looked like. Western Legend Billy the Kid once stood trial for murder in a Mesilla courtroom, and the Mesilla Plaza was once a major stop for the Butterfield Stagecoach. Originally, Mesilla was part of Mexico, but with the signing of the Gadsden Purchase in 1854, the village became part of the United States.
White Sands
National monument, south-central New Mexico, U.S. Established in 1933,
it covers 225 sq mi (583 sq km) and lies between the San Andres and the
Sacramento mountains. Its white gypsum sand constantly drifts into
dunes 10 – 60 ft (3 – 18 m) high. The San Andres National Wildlife
Refuge, White Sands Missile Range, and Holloman Air Force Base are
nearby.
