My husband…read moreand I visit frequently from Denver, CO as a weekend getaway and I can't recall a single trip where this stop hasn't been on our list. The Museum is well situated in Old Town and an easy bop over from the shops. In fact, if you visit on a Sunday morning, the museum is free of charge and shares a parking lot with Old Town. You can have your parking validated by the museum and spend some time at both. The permanent exhibits at the museum are expertly organized and there's almost certainly something for everyone. You could easily spend the day learning about local New Mexico artists in many different formats, or enjoy the rotating exhibits. Even if a rotating exhibit doesn't sound particularly interesting, I highly encourage you to check it out. The curator at this museum does an absolutely fantastic job of keeping things engaging. There's a particularly profound permanent piece that I highly encourage one to find, which is a video accompanied by a teeter-totter. And don't miss the sculpture garden outside! The gift shop is worth a stop, too. Many of the museum gift shops that I've stopped in over the years are filled with, well, junk--items largely irrelevant to the visit. The Albuquerque Museum, though, showcases local artisans, local food, and so much more. I almost always leave with something from their Los Poblanos case and a new coffee table book about the southwest. Can't recommend this gem enough!

We ordered a bag of the rock sugar "meth" and it was so small for $15, but a fun memento. The stop at Los Pollos Hermanos was just okay as far as the food was concerned.

This tour by Kialo Winters is a life changing, mind bending experience…read more Kialo is a great storyteller. He is part Pueblo and part Navajo. He gives his perspective which is one that is rarely taught in mainstream history classes: the great Chaco civilization wasn't vanquished by Europeans. It decided to close down and move on and split into northward and southward migrations. This extremely organized culture thrived for 500 years. The descendants are alive and well in the New Mexico region. Kialo is also a great listener. Great storytellers are by definition great listeners because they pick up on whether the audience is getting it and makes adjustments as needed while they are talking. Kialo wanted to know where everyone came from and remembers names and calls on you during his talks. In a nice gentle polite way. I personally learned a lot about my own peoples' history by listening to Kialo's. From his perspective, all these different people came to North America and mined and pillaged and tried to make the existing people vanish. I was inspired to meditate on how my people, an ethnic group in China, had to leave the land every few hundred years and settle in new places. Resources would dry up, too many people starving or at the top, profiting excessively. By learning about the Pueblo peoples, who kept things small, the pueblos are only a few thousand people big. The Pueblo a managed to organize and live on extremely inhospitable lands for centuries, thereby forestalled cultural extinction. IMHO the land and the people weretoo tough for other Native American tribes to take over. The people were too smart and wily and resourceful for the Spanish and the churches to dominate. I strongly recommend this tour. Well worth the price given it's 4 or 5 hours of standing in the desert and turning your mind upside down, confronting our biases due to the poor history we receive in secondary schools. Bring a hat, lots of sunscreen and water.

As experienced hikers (Grand Canyon, Utah parks, Himalayas, etc.), we know our limitations, including the fact that our GPS apps often make quirky jumps in extremely remote areas. We had limited time to explore and didn't want to waste it false-navigating to parking sites or major landmarks on our own, especially in monsoon season. Instead, we signed up for the team's Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah wilderness adventure, and our guide, Ray, did all the heavy lifting from there, including the challenging driving. Our five-hour journey was mesmerizing, start to finish, taking us to exceptional formations such as Sentinel, Howling Coyote, Giant Mushroom, and of course the ultimate -- Alien Throne. We had ample time to photograph precisely at the golden hour into blue, and Ray was informative, helpful, and friendly throughout. He shared our enthusiasm for the captivating landscape, and we deeply appreciated his narratives (about National Geographic, Apple VR filming, and more) as well as his deep expertise about the territory (including the people's ancestral legacies, the ancient and modern history, and the geology). The team members that support this family-owned company are reliable and service-oriented, and their dedication to their clients makes the booking and meetup processes as simple and streamlined as possible; they confirm all the precise details well in advance and set out with your satisfaction as top priority. An absolute must-do for any hiker or nature enthusiast visiting northern New Mexico -- truly outstanding!

What makes his tour unique is the way he weaves empathy into the stories of the ghosts. You don't just hear about the hauntings; you really feel the weight of the tragedies that led to them. As Brandon shares the history of Old Town Albuquerque--its battles, murders, and forgotten souls--he brings the past to life with such emotion that it's impossible not to feel connected to the spirits. This intriguing tour takes you through the hidden alleys and historic streets of Albuquerque, a city steeped in more than 300 years of history. But it's not just about the scares. Brandon combines history, folklore, and ghost hunting into an experience that feels personal and meaningful. And while the stories are chilling, what stays with you is the deep humanity behind each one. Whether you're a seasoned ghost hunter or just looking for a unique way to explore Albuquerque's history, you'll walk away with a new perspective on the spirits that call Old Town home. Don't forget to br ing a camera--there's no telling what unexplained phenomena you might catch!
