      Itinerary question

      Albuquerque May 1, 2013 at 6:49 AM

      Arriving in ABQ towards late afternoon, with the next full day to stay there, but actually don't want to miss out on Santa Fe before moving on. Staying at Best Western Rio Grande. We'll probably go into the Old town after our arrival in the late afternoon; any ideas where to eat some good NM chow? Better to stay in the center or is there anywhere decent near the hotel? And on day 2: is it realistic to travel to Santa Fe via the Turquoise Trail, coming back via El Camino Real? What's parking like in Santa Fe? Is it better to eat somewhere on the road before getting there? We also want to visit a pueblo but they all look as if the journey north of SF would add on miles/time to our day, taking away from the time spent in SF. Are there any interesting pueblos west of ABQ which we could visit on our way out on day 3? Not ones with guided tours.

    • Baby Strollers?

      by JonSmith123 Online Now Apr 12, 2011 at 3:11 PM

      I was wondering if the caves were open to people with baby strollers. Not sure how the navigation is down there so any help would be appreciated.

    • June trip to the Caverns

      by VIKTOY Online Now Jan 31, 2011 at 1:56 PM

      The Caverns are on my wishlist. We are driving from Portland,OR area to Reno middle of June with a group and thinking of keeping going to Carlsbad. What are the roads like (we are driving a Corvette) and the safety of leaving it unattended while looking at the caverns. Is the Best Western in Whites City OK?

      Best to see the bat flying in or out?

      by beatchfre Online Now Mar 8, 2006 at 12:04 PM

      Hi there, I'm trying to plan a little 2/3-day road trip from Santa Fe -> Roswell -> Carlsbad Caverns -> White Sands with my parents (from Scotland). I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best time to go to caverns i.e. should I go to see the bats flying INTO the cave at dawn, or OUT of the cave at dusk. We will be going sometime between the 5th to 12th of June. Just trying to plan an itinerary. Thanks in advance for any replies! Lee PS: Anyone know of any events going on in Alomagordo, Roswell, or Carlsbad in the above timeframe?
