Travelers who want to find The Wild West of western movies and romantic histories can find traces of Billy the Kid and rugged landscapes along highway 380 in southern New Mexico, but they'll find a lot more, too.

Taming The Wild West—Smokey Bear and the Fourth of July in Capitan, New Mexico

Capitan straggles along either side of Highway 380, dribbles out into the desert on the west side, and disappears in the folds of the mountains to the north. The village’s biggest attraction is the Smokey Bear museum, a log cabin crammed with yellowing newspaper clippings, hatpins, plush bears, and old board games. Shopping options are limited, and entertainment choices are even scarcer — except on the Fourth of July.

On the Fourth of July, Capitan residents, cowboys from nearby ranches, and a tourist or two line up along highway that runs through town. Travelers heading west on 380 slow to a crawl and become a prelude to the parade.
