We got a heck of a top 20 now! @Jcaz6996 @olblue @Mister_Brue @32oz_denim @denim-dawg

Bandelier National Park (Los Alamos) - Lots of interesting native cliff dwellings and kivas to check out. Anticipate a short walk 1-3 miles total. Could start some much longer out & back hikes that are 20+ miles.

Standard & Strange (Santa Fe) - Hands down "the" best men's clothing store in all of New Mexico.

Meow Wolf (Santa Fe) - Interactive and immersive art exhibit for children and adults. Plan to dedicate 1-2 hours here.

Drinks:

Ex Novo Brewery - every beer here is a winner, I honestly don't know how they do it.
Gravity Bound Brewery - small spot but extremely well crafted beers and kombucha
Bow & Arrow Brewery - the only female, native owned brewery in the USA

Food:

El Campo @ Los Poblanos Farm - a historic lavender farm with some of the best food in the city
Farm & Table - top notch, farm to table restauraunt.
El Cotorro - arguably the best tacos in the city
El Patio - arguably the best New Mexican food in the city
Frontier Restaurant - low key, NM staple right on Route 66. Awesome spot for well priced breakfast
Sawmill Market - food hall with options for the whole family!
Indian Pueblo Kitchen - indigenous cuisine!

To-Do:

Take the (longest in US) tram up to the Sandia Mountains
Hike the petroglyphs trail
Take a bike ride or hike in the Bosque (ABQ is the only city in the US with an "undeveloped" river running through it.

This is just scratching the surface. PM me if you are in ABQ and would like more recommendations!

@Mister_Brue you’re so welcome! appreciate the kind words friend!

@Jcaz6996 hahaha! imagine the guys posting up in parking lots with a sword to hang their Sammy's from. Talk about looks! Some people just don't understand. lol

@SKT oh man! that's going to be a great trip! I was up at TSV the weekend before last and Ski Santa Fe last weekend. Conditions are quite impressive for March. We had a stellar February this year when it comes to snow. I would 100% plan to get up to the mountain early if you are heading up. Ski Santa Fe has been one car in, one car out by 11am on the weekends. Their lot can't handle the amount of people coming up. Plus, every run is open at Ski Santa Fe - it's glorious!

Sante Fe is such a foodie town. Places I'd recommend (if your kids' palate is open to it): Paper Dosa (dinner), La Choza (dinner), Tune Up Cafe (lunch), Jambo Cafe (lunch or dinner), Dolinas Bakery (breakfast/quick grabs), Iconik Coffee Roasters (coffee/breakfast), Counter Culture (breakfast).

Just scratching the surface here, but if you need any other recommendations... fire away!

Change is inevitable! I am glad to see the team is vigilant on making this a safe place for us all. (yes... another post down!)
