For anyone else wondering about a similar itinerary. Another suggestion is the Jemez Mtns. A good hotel on the north of Albuquerque is the Hyatt Tamayo and that is convenient to the Jemez Mtns. Drive west to Hwy 4...very scenic and home to the Valle Caldera National Preserve, Jemez Springs (All-America City Award winner twice) and Jemez Springs Bath House (low key city owned spa with hot springs baths and massage therapy), plenty of hiking trails. Los Alamos and Bandelier are on the north side of the Mtns. Pueblos are all around the area and may be worth a looksee.
