You are mostly correct.
Other than a couple of places (like Ruidoso for example which is a ski area) Southern NM is mostly desert.
Northern NM does still have desert (Albuquerque is a good example) but for the most part upper NM feels more like Colorado once you're North of ABQ.
The state itself is mostly high desert, but the Rocky Mountains bisect it, and there are some bodies of water, so variables like that, particularly the elevation, change it up some.
