The first season of Longmire wrapped up several years ago, but the neo-western television series still has a loyal fan base. The wide-open vistas of New Mexico create the perfect backdrop for Sheriff Walt Longmire's law and order mission, and plenty of iconic filming locations are worth visiting in real life. Here are some of the best Longmire locations to add to your New Mexico road trip itinerary.

In addition to Longmire, the Netflix series Hellbent starring Adam Sandler and NBC's Endgame are currently being filmed in the state.
