Unexpected Find by Craig

I found a great cafe in old town, that servers French food with a Mexican flare. If you go check out: La Crepe Michel. The city and surrounding area is also full of great museums. It gets a tad windy though, so be prepared.

Wonderful trip by ricksteven

Sandia Peak is a great place to spend a day. Ride the tram to the top, hike the rest of the way to the peak (about 2 miles or so), and have dinner at the top! Great winery nearby at Sandia Shadows.
