New Mexico.
Visiting
Albuquerque:
While Native American culture is alive and well, Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a living,
breathing, rather sprawling, metropolis -- one with half a million residents and a heck of
a lot of hand-made turquoise jewellery.
Visiting
Santa Fe:
With its 300 sunny days a year, more than 250 art galleries and museums, excellent
restaurants, terrific skiing conditions and close proximity to ancient ruins, natural hot
springs and breathtaking hiking trails, no wonder Santa Fe continues to be an enduringly
popular destination for families, couples and business travelers alike.
Visiting
Taos:
Located 40 miles south of the Colorado border, about 70 miles north of Santa Fe and 135
miles from Albuquerque, Taos is best known for its thriving art colony, its historic
Native American pueblo, and the nearby ski area, one of the most highly regarded in the
Rocky Mountain Region.
New Mexico at a Glance
Albuquerque
at a Glance:
The best times to visit Albuquerque are in September for the New Mexico State Fair;
October for the nine-day Kodak Albuquerque International Balloon Festival; or in November
through the 9th of December for the Annual Fine Craft Show and Sale. January is rich in
cultural events. February is full of concerts. It seems like any time you choose to visit
the city offers something special.
Santa
Fe at a Glance:
Summer is a popular time to visit Santa Fe because of the Santa Fe Opera, which schedules
performances through July and August. Make reservations in advance because most weekends
are booked to capacity.
Taos
at a Glance:
When you visit Taos depends on why you visit Taos. Obviously if the lure of the many
surrounding ski resorts draws you to the area, you’ll need to come during the winter
or early spring. Taos is also popular among hikers, backpackers, and biking enthusiasts
who descend upon the town from late spring until mid-autumn.

Articles About Albuquerque, New Mexico
On
the Road in Albuquerque: by John Gorton.
Lulled to relaxation by perfect blue skies, temperatures in the 80s, and unbelievable
views of open, endless mesa, my wife and I drove from Phoenix across eastern Arizona and
western New Mexico on I-40. By late afternoon, we approached Albuquerque.
Articles About Pecos, New Mexico
Get
Up and Go -- to Pecos: by Peggy Bechko.
Grab a picnic lunch, don your hiking shoes, put some ice in your cooler, then fill it with
cool drinks -- we're heading for Pecos, and, if energy remains high, a brisk hike amongst
the trees and wildflowers in a jaunt to the Glorieta Ghost Town.
Articles About Santa Fe, New Mexico
Santa
Fe: by Jennie Duttenhofer.
Surrounded by tall, majestic mountains, Santa Fe is held in a magical embrace of earth and
sky. Welcoming people from all backgrounds and walks of life, Santa Fe has grown and
thrived on unique and complimentary differences, developing a place where anyone can feel
at home.
Santa
Fe Day Trips: by Peggy Bechko.
Santa Fe clings to a broad shoulder of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and at no time is
this more evident than to the observer diving up Interstate 25 at night when the lights of
the city are clearly visible in front of the shadowy bulk of the Sangres de Cristos.
Santa
Fe's Upper Crust: by Peggy Bechko.
Upper Crust Pizza at 329 Old Santa Fe Trail, just a couple of blocks south of the Plaza,
next to the oldest church, will even deliver if you want. But, if you prefer to kick back
and enjoy watching the world go by, dining on the rustic porch is ideal.
The
El Rey Inn: by Peggy Bechko.
Without a doubt, the favorite stop for our family in Santa Fe is the 60-year-old El Rey
Inn. Older, yet overflowing with charm, no two rooms are alike at the El Rey.
The
Guadalupe Cafe, Santa Fe: by Peggy Bechko.
One of the best local restaurants in Santa Fe for a broad selection of New Mexican
favorites -- enchiladas, burritos and Rellenos -- as well as a mix of traditional fare, is
the Guadalupe Café on Old Santa Fe trail, just three short blocks (and I mean short --
these aren't big city blocks) from the plaza.
Articles About Taos, New Mexico
Taos,
New Mexico: by Jennie Duttenhofer.
If ever there was an enchanted town, Taos, New Mexico is it. Set in the Northern region of
the state, it is one of the most rewarding trips one could make. Rich in history, Taos is
combination of peoples and regions. Ranchos de Taos makes up the farming community, while
Pueblo de Taos encompasses the area inhabited by the Taos Indians.
Up
the Rio Grande to Taos: by Peggy Bechko.
Got the itch to hit the road and do a little extensive sight-seeing in New Mexico? Think
about it: a gorgeous drive; the Rio Grande River; lunch along the way; and a breath-taking
loop drive circling back to Santa Fe that takes you past some of the state's loftiest
peaks. What more could you want?
