Help planning a trip to Albuquerque/Santa Fe area?
I'm taking my parents for a trip to Albuquerque/Santa Fe in early May. I need your help to plan our trip because I'm not familiar with the area. Here are some information about us: 1. We will arrive on Friday late night and stay at a hotel near the airport. This way we can have Sat, Sun, and Monday morning. 2. Maybe it's better we go stayover in Santa Fe on Sat night and Albuquerque on Sunday night so there is no rush to catch our flight back home on Monday afternoon. 3. I heard about Hotel Santa Fe and Hacienda. Are they good? Which one is nicer? Any other hotel recommendation similar to this level? 4. Pls provide must-go-places for both places. No zoo, theme park or etc. My parents travel a lot so they like to see something new and interesting. Special scenery/architect would be nice. 5. Any special gourmet/restaurants we must try? Don't have to be high-end places. We like holes-in-the-wall as long as they are special and cannot be found somewhere else What is the weather like in early May? Let me know if I didn't provide enough info about what we need. Thanks advance for your help!

If you're into such things, I believe they have at least one Indian-run casino in Albuquerque. Or, if you have the time and inclination, go to Roswell.

Weather is usually nice and warm in May. Sandia Peak Tram is nice and scenic if you don't mind heights. 19 Indian Pueblos in the area you might like to visit one or two. Santa Fe is famous for their museums, I'm sure your hotels will have information. The Plaza area of Santa Fe and Old Town area of Albuquerque are where most tourists head to because of the architecture and history. Buffalo Thunder is a very nice new Hilton resort, about 5-10min north of Santa Fe; far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the SF tourist trap, but close enough to get back and forth quickly. It has beautiful scenery (awesome sunsets) and a golf course, if you're into that.
