Southwest road trip with friends (2017)


1. San Antonio to Carlsbad

  • Carlsbad Caverns We did the King's Palace tour and then we stuck around to see the bats fly out in the evening!

2. Carlsbad to Albuquerque

  • UFO Museum This was in Roswell, NM.
  • Indian Pueblo Cultural Center Any time I visit Alb. I stop at the cultural center to see any new exhibits. Sometimes you can catch Pueblo dancers in the courtyard.
  • Sandia Peak One of my favorite places in the world! The tram to the top is exciting. I like to go up just before dark to see the view and catch the lights of Alb.

3. Albuquerque to Flagstaff

  • Gallup We stopped into the El Rancho Hotel. It's pretty cool to see the pictures/paintings of famous Hollywood stars.
  • Acoma Pueblo "Sky City" This is a really cool experience. You can tour the Pueblo and talk to the people that live up on the mesa.
