I liked your #2 tip: don't overplan your itinerary. I think it's important to leave some time/space for spontaneous exploration.

We visited Taos, New Mexico a few years ago, but unfortunately couldn't visit the Pueblo as it was till closed to visitors post-covid. New Mexico had the most beautiful blue skies!

Thanks for reading, Marlo! Very cool you check it out. I've heard nothing but good things about New Mexico, especially the scenery. Hopefully you get a chance to visit again sometime.

All good advice, Daniel. Also, I love New Mexico. Had a great friend in Santa Fe and enroute to and from Mexico, when we used to drive from San Francisco, would stop there and hang out. Got to know it well. Nice memories for me, and great photos.

That's wonderful Jeanine! A friend just made a weekend trip to Santa Fe (which inspired me to write about NM haha) and said it was better than she expected. I'm glad you got to experience that part of the US and had positive experiences!

Really a great little city, surrounded by those beautiful mountains. A fun town.
