Accommodations & Area Information

Albuquerque is one of the oldest cities in the U.S., and boasts a unique multicultural heritage and history where Native American, Hispanic & Latino, Anglo and other cultural influences are a part of everyday life. Nowhere is the confluence of past and present more dramatic than here in Albuquerque, where the modern city skyline is set against a backdrop of the ancient Sandia Mountains and an endless, timeless blue sky.

Explore the Sandia Mountains for a one-of-a-kind mountain vacation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You’re sure to find that the New Mexico landscape has beauty that is rivaled by no other. The city of Albuquerque lies a mile above sea level and has a high-desert climate that allows you to experience the contrast between desert and forest all under our vast blue sky. You can hike in the foothills among prickly-pear, cholla cactus and fragrant desert sage, or trek to the top of the mountain where pine and fir trees line the ridges and valleys. To the west, you can walk among ancient lava flows and see where Albuquerque’s early residents carved drawings onto the rocks at the Petroglyph National Monument.
