Mountainair is a small town located in Torrance County, New Mexico, situated at the intersection of several ancient trade routes. The town serves as a gateway to the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, which includes three significant 17th-century Spanish mission ruins: Quarai, Abó, and Gran Quivira. These historic sites represent the complex interaction between Spanish colonizers and Native American Pueblo cultures.

Originally established as a railroad town in the early 1900s, Mountainair was once known as the "Pinto Bean Capital of the World" due to its agricultural prominence. Today, the town maintains its historic character while serving as a cultural center that connects visitors to the region's rich archaeological and historical heritage. The area's distinctive high desert landscape and elevation of around 6,500 feet provide a unique backdrop to its cultural attractions.
