Sante Fe, Los Alamos, Gallup and the other Las Vegas
One region of the US that I would love to get back to some day is New Mexico. My first and only visit came in late 2009 as part of a visit that also included sections of eastern Arizona. New Mexico is unique both visually and culturally, and has a tremendous amount to offer tourists.

Los Alamos was kind of a disappointment in that we discovered the famous laboratories are not open the public. The Bradbury museum does provide a lot of historical info about the Manhattan Project as well as current scientific research underway. The drive out to it is beautiful.
For me, Bandelier National Monument, a ruin of a Pueblo cliff dwelling settlement was one of the highlights of this holiday.
