In New Mexico, it is a mix of culture and nature: take hikes in White Sands National Park, go sightseeing around Santa Fe with its Adobe buildings, architecture and art, drive down the Turquoise Trail to old mining towns, go underground to sightseeing in the Carlsbad Caverns, have local cuisine (green chile is an absolute must). Best out-out and culture blend.
