In New Mexico, spectacular weather events do occur seasonally and your tour guide is aware of weather facts and phenomenons. Lightning is certainly something to be considered and the safest place to be is indoors or in a vehicle. Cloudbursts generate flash floods that can sweep through areas in an instant. Your tour guide will teach you how to monitor signs for bad weather.
