That does actually sound a lot like NM, down to the emptiness and "last gas for xx miles, fill up here" signs -- it's very sparsely populated, although probably not like where you were. And you really can just go to the bare outskirts of town and just start walking up into the mountains, even in Albuquerque, regular day hiking. It's something like the fifth biggest state and forty-fifth in terms of population density.
