Driving Route 66 from Chicago to LA and I needed recommendation on taking the "old" alignment through Santa Fe or the newer alignment bypassing it. Recommendation was go to Santa Fe, which turned out to be one of the highlights of my visit to New Mexico! I also visited Bandelier National Monument (old Pueblo dwellings carved from solid rock) and I wasn't disppointed either. Thanks! You made my visit to NM so much more enjoyable!"

We visited on a Sunday during business hours; the staff were friendly and helpful with the information we requested. The grounds are well landscaped with desert flora, and the surrounding vistas are expansive—keep an eye out for New Mexico’s well-known fauna. We always stop when entering from the east and will continue to do so."
