Families looking for a change of scenery Easter weekend can make a day trip out of it and head to the mountains of New Mexico.

Nichols Ranch and Orchards offers El Paso-area families the opportunity to hit the road and celebrate the holiday in the picturesque Sacramento Mountains outside of La Luz, New Mexico, about 20 minutes from Alamogordo.

The family-run farm will be hosting its inaugural Easter & Spring Celebration on Saturday, April 8, and if you've ever been to their Apple or Cherry Festival than you know how much fun a day on the farm can be.
