any suggestions?was going to go white sands then sevilleta wildlife refuge-cant work out with the pueblo acoma is worth going to as its quite a drive-or just go to the pueblo museum in alb..
any other ideas greatly appreciated!
If you're going to go to Acoma
TODAY (September 2) is the day to do it. It's their annual Feast Day. There will be traditional dances and other ceremonial events at the old village throughout the day. NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED.
The Indian Puebo Cultural Center in Albuquerque is worth it. There's all sorts of other things to do and see in Albuquerque, depending on what you're interested in. If you haven't done it before, the tram ride up to the top of Sandia Peak is worth it. There's a restaurant up there and some nice hiking trails. It's over 10,000 feet, so quite a bit cooler than Albuquerque.
Wikitravel has a self-guided
Breaking Bad Tour of Albuquerque, if that's your thing.
But if you have any bit of "geek" in you, you should head west on US 60 out of Socorro and visit the
Very Large Array. It's about an hour's drive into a mostly deserted area, but if you like science fiction or astronomy, it may be one of the coolest places you can visit.
Enjoy the Land of Enchantment.
