Sandia Mountain dominates the east-side of Albuquerque with its 5,000’ vertical rise. A visit to the

Experience Santa Fe! $58 Includes: motor coach, tour guide, admission and tax. Does not include
meal
A visit to New Mexico is not complete without experiencing the capital city of Santa Fe,
with its unusual charm and historical significance. The fully narrated tour includes
information as we travel the Turquoise Trail through old mining towns
on the way to Santa Fe. We’ll stop in the artist community of Madrid.
On the approach to Santa Fe you will get a glimpse into the history and
culture that truly make Santa Fe “The City Different”. Upon arrival at
Santa Fe Plaza the guide will lead an orientation pointing out restaurants and shops. There will be
approx. 4 hours of free time to explore with one’s own interests in mind and have lunch before we leave at
3:45 p.m. The walking tour includes Loretto Chapel Museum with its “miraculous staircase”. Note:
The Santa Fe Plaza elevation is 7,000’. The walking tour is not far and will be done at a pace
that all can enjoy.
Acoma Pueblo $85 Includes: motor coach, tour guide, mesa-top tour, mandatory photo permit,
museum admission, lunch, hydrating beverages and tax.
Located one hour west of Albuquerque, Acoma Indian Pueblo “Sky City”, is built upon a 70-acre
mesa almost 40 stories above the canyon floor. We’ll follow an Acoma Indian guide through the
earthen streets as we hear their history and see why they maintain their ancestral home (occupied
since the early 900’sAD) without electricity or modern plumbing. There will be
opportunities to purchase hand-crafted and home-baked items on the mesa top.
At the visitor center we’ll enjoy lunch at the café and view the museum, gift shop
and peruse the jewelry vendors. NOTES: This is an outdoor event, be prepared for hot and cool
temperatures to occur in the same hour. Wear comfortable shoes, the mesa top is uneven
rock and sand and the elevation is at 7,000’. On the way back to Albuquerque we’ll take a detour
to a private home near the Navajo land of To’hajilee and enjoy a cool beverage and a snack.
Los Alamos $57 Includes: Roundtrip Railrunner train ticket, Atomic City Tours vehicle and guide &
tax. Does not include cost of lunch. A small-group version of our original tour.
Georgia Strickfaden (Atomic City Tours) has graciously offered to pick up at a Santa Fe train depot and do the Los
Alamos tour for you on Thursday, June 22 and Monday, June 26. Here is how it will work:
Tour New Mexico has a tour guide meet you at the Alvarado Transportation Center (ATC) a few blocks from the
Convention Center. The Railrunner train #510 north departs the ATC at 9:35 sharp. We need to be there by 9:15. Our
tour guide will give you the round trip train fare. You board the train and at some point a fare collector will come through
the car and you pay them the round trip fare from Downtown Albuquerque to the South Capital stop.
When you get off the train at South Capital at 11:11AM you will see Georgia and her tour bus in the parking lot, (you will
have her cell phone number.) She will drive you to Los Alamos and do the tour of all the historic sites in L.A. Georgia will
return you to the South Capital station in time to take train #515 south at 4:20PM and you will arrive in Downtown
Albuquerque at 5:50PM. Your train ticket does not limit you to what return train to take, making it possible for you to
spend additional time in Santa Fe (for dinner perhaps) and taking a later train to Albuquerque.
