Magdalena is a charming small village known as the “Trails End,” a nod to its historic role as a railhead for cattle drives and mining shipments in the late 1800s. Nestled near the Magdalena Mountains, it’s surrounded by picturesque high desert scenery and is a gateway to outdoor destinations like the Kelly ghost town, the Very Large Array, and the Magdalena Ridge Observatory. The town offers a feeling of Old West charm with a growing arts scene, hosting galleries, festivals, and stargazing events that draw visitors from all over the country.
