I am a native New Mexican and we do have lots of grass. Most of NM has watering restrictions on types of grass that require a lot of water but we are by no means "grassless". Lots of pet friendly parks.
I have been to most of the states in the USA including Alaska and Hawaii and I would never consider living anywhere else. So much variety here you never get bored with the same landscape view. Albuquerque is high desert (well over 5,000' downtown and close to 6500' in the far northeast heights) with cooler nights, low humidity, 4 seasons, etc.
A bazillion places to visit especially if you like outdoors, hiking, biking, miles of trails, longest tram in the world, surrounded by wonders such as El Malpais National Park, lots of Indian pueblos, ancient cultures, museums, etc.
You will love it!!
