We also like New Mexico. Santa Fe is very nice, but to escape the summer heat I would definitely choose Ruidoso or one of the other higher elevation locations.
Santa Fe Average Temp: July 86, August 83
Ruidoso Average Temp: July 80, August 78
The Lincoln National Forest has over 150 hiking trails.
Temps are important, that's the main reason for my wife and I leaving NC for the month of August. It seems like the the entire month of July and August so far has been 90 degrees plus.
