Hello everybody! My DH and I are looking for roadtrip ideas- we have to be in Valentine, TX (near El Paso, kinda...) the weekend after Labor Day but we are off from the 7th -14th.... We were wanting to go somewhere in NM since we've been all over Texas-- Anyway-- we were thinking either Taos or Cloudcroft but I thought I'd post here to get some ideas!! TIA! (today is our 2nd anniversary so it's going to be a late anniversary roadtrip!!)

    If you're gonna head up north to Taos, stop in Santa Fe on your way and walk around the plaza.  There's tons of art and jewelry shops, and local vendors selling their stuff.  You could grab a sandwich or burrito at one of the restaurants and sit in the park and people watch.  There's little theaters for music and theatrical performances.  There's also unique stores and restaurants in Albuquerque's Nob Hill and Old Town if you stop there.  The Zoo and Botanical Gardens are fun too and the Isotopes' season may still be going on then.  If you are in ABQ you have to eat at Sadie's!  If you want to stay in southern NM near El Paso, I would recommend Carlsbad Caverns.............a really cool cave you can walk thru with tons of formations.  I think there's guided tours, or maybe you could walk around on your own.  I haven't been there in a while.  And White Sands is nearby too.  Like pp said, without really knowing your interests it's a little difficult since there's a bunch of options.  Hope some of these ideas help!  Have fun!

    I guess it would have helped if I had given our interests... sorry!We are bringing our motorcycle so we are hoping to find somewhere to go on a day ride, we do a lot outside. We are also trying to find a disk golf course.
