I'm hoping I can get some recommendations. My mother in law relies heavily on oxygen. She's on it 24/7. She still very much wants to travel though, especially to New Mexico. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any tour groups or planners that help with people who need this kind of accommodation. Thanks so much!

My grandmother was also dependent on oxygen for several years but we did still travel & did so often. We actually went through her home oxygen provider and they provided contact information. The plus for going through her provider - other than delivery to a cruise ship we had no other additional costs during any of our trips. We had Apria at home in PA.

Thanks Deedee! I will look into that for her.

I just wanted to give you a note of caution. I'm not sure where you are from or where you are going to in New Mexico. When I had a travel nurse contract out there between Santa Fe and Taos, we had a few travelers who were suffering from altitude sickness. Make sure go slowly if you are changing altitude quite a bit.
