Loved it! So neat to buy directly from a Native Anerican silversmith. To chat with him/ her, get a history on the piece, is fantastic. Plenty of food vendors, wear a hat and have sunscreen in summer.

The heart of Native artists! Beautiful art and jewelry! We had such a fun, great time! Looking forward to going again!

Best place to get Great prices on jewelery and tee shirts and blankets. When you have exploded your brain looking at prices in shops which are high, come here. Every Saturday. You will love it.

Great time. Friendly people. Great coffee and fry bread. Bought a pair of lovely earrings and some squash

Good varieties of hot foods desserts and breads. Clothes jewelry tools even potbelly pigs for sell

Good place to walk around and find items you didnt know you needed.

This was quite a happening on Saturday, including live music at one end of the parking area... A big selection of foods and things to browse, and buy. My favorite thing was that the children had a special place to hang out run by ATD Fourth World , non profit.

The review is for the historical building, sign, and murals only as the museum was closed even though it was Saturday.

The Rex Museum is one of those nice little "hole in the wall" museums that has alot of local history and is staffed by locals who have an abiding lifelong interest in their local history. I definitely recommend it. It is also noteworthy that the Building it self has its fair share of history. For many years this building (300 W 66th) was the location of Tom's Variety & Hobby Supply. Tom's Variety was the local Model Airplane supply store and home to the Gallup Model Airplane Club. Tom's Variety was owned and operated by Ed Shibata, a local born first generation Japanese American, and decorated WWII combat veteran of the 442 combat infantry battalion, which is the most highly decorated unit in American mitary history. Ed was a wonderful kind hearted person who took the time to help peolle of all ages to learn the ropes of building and flying model airplanes.

Enjoyed visiting the museum. Worker there is very nice and friendly. He knew about the history and was able to answer our questions without feeling obligated. Loved to see the history and actually read old pieces that are hard to find. Was worth stopping by!

The museum is staffed by a very friendly guy who has lots of information to share about Gallup, Native Americans. It is full of interesting artefacts from the local area. Please visit to support a small, independent museum.

Marginally interesting place to visit. No fee, only a suggested donation. The owners apparently like to keep quiet the most interesting footnote on this building, which is that it used to house a Gallup Bordello, way back in the day.

This was a waste of time, except for a fascinating conversation with the Navajo gentleman who worked there. Displays thrown together. And boring and sparse. Should have a native american museum in that space instead, not another boring railroad, WWII museum.

Thr City pf Gallup needs to update the City's Museum amd get a bigger biulding, like the Old Post Office whereP the cable company is now, put some great use to that historical building that has some great ceiling wood work, Gallup has more hidden history. Gallup jas alot of native American history in this town that is left out, and back when the RR was being built there workers were also Chinese that worked on the RR there is alot of history that citizens of Gallup have that in picture's, books, letters and antics. People want to know our town.

We visited on a brief stay in Gallup and we were greeted by Bill Malone himself. He was such a nice man, sharing wonderful experiences, knowledge and personal stories. We appreciated how welcoming he was. We found a couple of amazing pieces, a handwoven rug and a painting. Be sure you stop by Bill Malone's Trading Co when you're in the area. You'll be glad you did, and I bet you find a few treasures to take back home with you.

Mr Malone is an experience that you don’t want to miss. He is knowledgeable, congenial, patient, helpful and above all informative of the Native American culture and arts. We felt as if we gained a new friend and crave the experience of a re-visit to his trading post! Thank you Bill!

I visited Mr. Malones store twice and have gained so much knowledge about his career as a trader and how native American traded. He should have his memoirs recorded and published. He has to be the last of the true Indian traders. He has a great collection of native American items for sale. I feel honored that he took time to share some of his story with me.

Bill's shop / trading post is truly a must stop. He is incredibly knowledgeable and he has a beautiful collection of Navaho weavings. He is one of the last of the true Indian traders. We had met him previously at Hubbell's trading post back in the day, and he took good care of us back then as well. We couldn't be happier with the quality and value of our purchase. Thank you Bill!

Small store but stocked with the best of Native American arts. Jewelry, pottery, kachinas, and rugs. If you are lucky Bill's wife may be in the store working on one of her exquisite Navajo Rugs. Bill is one of a kind, and true gentleman. As the former curator of the famous Hubble's trading post, he has an in depth knowledge of everything Navajo.

Having dealt with Bill many years ago at Shush Yaz I have always found him to be an honest and caring person. One of the last true Indian Traders left. I am only sorry that he opened his store a short time after I left Gallup and have not had the opportunity to visit since. Walk in peace Billy.

Bill Malone's is a must see when you visit Gallup! A legendary Trader and a genuinely friendly guy who best represents Gallup NM as a unique town. If you want to see some of the best names in the Silversmith trade then stop in and shop!

The museum leads visitors through the incredible history of how the Code Talkers idea first sparked in the mind of a bilingual, son-of-a-missionary, turned Marine. It was February 1942, two years into the war, and the U.S. Military was in need desperate need of a combat code that couldn’t be cracked. Philip Johnston, who had learned to speak Navajo growing up, pitched the unwritten language as a solution. By April 1942, 29 young Dine were enlisted for their native language skills and went through basic. By June they had created an initial code for every letter of the alphabet, plus 211 words, that would go on to be used in every major operation in the Pacific Theater, until wars end. These 29 young men became the 382nd out of San Diego, the FIRST all Dine Platoon. By 1943, there were 191 Dine in three separate Marine Divisions and fourth was formed in 1944. Often assigned in pairs, they were quote, “among the first units to hit the bloody beaches of Saipan, Guam, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa in order to set up functional command posts.” “It felt good to know that we were the only ones who could do this useful thing. We swore that we would protect the code with our lives, and we kept our word.” There’s an incredible collection here that tell just as much about our discovery of the Code Talkers, as the American Public, as it does their service. From military and tribal council documents to art to memorabilia to books to cultural pieces that honor these warriors and more. I feel like this single room museum fills an expansive space for anyone who bothers to stop and take it in.

Nice and informative. I know there are said to be other museums that also featur Navajo code talkers' talea and history, but this one was handy and easy to stop by. Informative panels and dioramas. Good history. Located within the Gallup Cultural Center building. Look for an old Santa Fe railroad car parked outside.

It is only open till 3:00 p.m.. We got there late so we were not able to watch the 45-minute movie about the code talkers.

I toured the small museum which didn’t have much in display. The staff weren’t very nice nor did them explain anything. It seemed they were only interested is selling merchandise which seems to be the real reason the museum exists.

We came to see this at 9:30 am today but it was closed according to the security guard. He told us we had to go through the restaurant that is open 11-4 today. So we left & came back at 2:30. Closed again. We tried to call the local visitor center. Had to leave a message. Yep they were closed too. I understand that covid has changed many tourist attractions but it would be very helpful if they updated their hours here or at least stuck a note on the door what there hours really are. We owe these code talkers a huge debt of gratitude. It’s sad the town of Gallup doesn’t seem to feel the same. Thank you for your service🇺🇸

A small piece if history worth your time to see

Very friendly helpful staff. Takes 15 minutes to read displays but worth every minute. Just drop in and have the kids understand something of the people who fought for this country. The book on the code talkers is available on audio and would be great to listen during the drive

Visited in September 2025. Nice collection of Route 66 signs.

Gallup Cultural Center Route 66 Gallup, New Mexico Most of the time, when we visit Gallup, New Mexico, we only spend the night. Usually we arrive in Gallup in the evening. During our travels we visited several places, such as the Historic El Rancho Hotel, which we have had dinner several times. During our visits, there is one place that has always peeked our interest, The Gallup Cultural Center. This trip we decided to visit before leaving the town. The Gallup Cultural Center is located in the Historic Santa Fe Depot, and the center was created in 1996 by the Southwest Indian Foundation. It was created to show the culture and history of Native American tribes near and in Gallup, New Mexico. The Cultural Center has a public square where people from the community, school children, and visitors can use it as a place for forums, lectures, and other different events. The museum is located on the second floor of this historic building. The museum was quite impressive with many historical aspects and displays of the Native American culture from this area and neighboring areas. Looking through all the past and present photos, pottery, artwork, and sculptures was a great experience, and we both learned more about the culture and arts. There is also a small theater decorated with Route 66 motif. Here at the museum, you will also find exhibits on Gallup's Route 66 history. The museum itself is beautiful and easy to walk around to look at all the beautiful exhibits and artwork. The Cultural Center also offers visitors a great place to dine, which is Angela's Cafe. Yes, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. The center also offers a great bakery called The Juniper Bakery. The desserts were delicious, especially the Blue Corn Cookies and macaroons. We also met the owner, and she was great, and so were the other staff members. If you want a delicious lunch that is light, fresh, and flavorful, then I would definitely suggest Angela's Cafe. We had a fantastic experience at both the cafe and bakery. Every staff member we met was all friendly and informative. This shows excellent guest service to their visitors. This cultural center is a place where visitors to Gallup should visit. It's a beautiful place with a great museum, a fantastic cafe, and a wonderful bakery. We learned so much about the heritage, culture, and arts of Native Americans. I will admit we both have been fascinated by culture and history. We definitely will visit again when we are in Gallup, New Mexico.

What a great place! The former El Navaho Hotel and Santa Fe Railway Station is still a working Amtrak station but also houses a wonderful museum upstairs. We learned so much about the Gallup region! The museum is free, but donations are appreciated. Angela's Cafe, a nice place to get a sandwich for lunch, is downstairs.

Very cool little museum, friendly self guided tour with a Cafe and shop, admission is free.

We were honored to learn the history of Gallup and the Navajo culture with Terrie at the Gallup Cultural Center. Her commitment and heart were so evident. If you are in the area you must stop by; you will be inspired. We returned in the evening to watch the Zuni Dance group perform!

Very good history and walk self walk thru. There was no air conditioning, but fans worked well.

Cultural Center and museum in Gallup is free but I always suggest making donation for the museum and it's upkeep

We stayed at the campground for one night on our way through town. What we liked: close to the interstate, easy in and out and the incredible views. I recommend getting here early and take a hike, the scenery is beautiful and it’s a nice way to stretch your legs after a day of travel. What we didn’t like: train noise all night long, a lot of garbage and debris both in the campground and surrounding area, lose dogs in the area (none aggressive but we have a small dog and that’s just not cool), one of the two bathrooms wasn’t working and one of the two dump stations wasn’t working so there seems to be some maintenance challenges here. Also noteworthy is there’s a fairly large number of resident campers on site. We had no issues but I know that’s concerning to some so I thought I’d mention it.

We give Red Rock Park five stars just for the wow factor on the hike out back. The facilities are ok, not the cleanest place we’ve stayed. But the hike - unbelievable.

Nice super in Gallup! It’s a bit dated and there were wild dogs running around but nice hikes and place to spend a few Days.

Beautiful place to camp Sites were exceptionally large We had a water and electric site.

Stopped on our way to Grand Cayon. Will be visiting nearby Petrified Forrest and Meteor Crater after the stay. Some of the site numbers were hard to find but easy to maneuver around this park. Greeted by tumbleweeds, a dirt devil, and Prarie dogs (i think I dunno they were cute and went down a hole) You can hike the nearby trailhead which offer great views, but I'll opt for rest from the long drive before other sites tomorrow.

We were there late on a Sunday afternoon. Looks like the hike would be outstanding.

Such a great place to hold events! The setting has to be one of the coolest places to be. The Red Rocks totally Rock!!!!

It’s the Continental Divide, you have to stop in here, get off the exit before and drive historic 66 for a few miles, stop here, the gift shop is wonderful and the 2 Indian woman at the counter are so nice. You can get back in 40 from here.

Cool little souvenir shop with a decent selection of items like arrowheads and postcards. However, the customer service was disappointing. After picking out a few small items (like $0.79 arrowheads), the staff insisted on holding onto them until checkout—as if I might steal them. It felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming, especially for a souvenir store that’s supposed to be inviting. Maybe they’re not used to seeing a diverse range of customers, but the experience definitely left a bad impression.

Classic Route 66 stop w gas and a small convenience store plus an expansive gift shop. In retrospect I wish i had done more shopping here. Great selection of items from inexpensive souvenirs to beautiful moccasins and hand crafted jewelry. Very friendly folks. This gorgeous photo was taken from a little step they set up along the back of the property for just this purpose.

such a cute store!! very informative and helpful owner, when I picked a ring I liked she gave me the artists name and wrote down the style of design and type of stone. would highly recommend if wanting high quality locally created pieces.

You could literally spend all day in this shop and still not find everything you want. So many goodies. My brother bought a new belt with a snakeskin buckle. They have turquoise, rare and precious stones, parkas, food, fireworks, toys, coffee - you name it. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. A great experience - in the middle of nowhere.

The Continental Divide of the Americas aka Great Divide, West Divide, or Continental is the most prominent in the Americas, paralleling gorgeous peaks in the Rockies. It extends from the Bearing Straight to the Straight of Magellan. Here is our look at it

Super clean restrooms. Good prices on souvenirs. Friendly people.

Driving down HWY 53, as you come around a bend in the road, off in the distance, a tall, beautiful, and commanding sight comes into view. El Morro. A mesa that is a natural History museum in its own right. The Park is beautifully maintained by the NPS. The museum has beautiful pieces of history in it. The gift shop has so many cool things inside. The restrooms were clean, the water fountain had ice cold water available. Park Ranger Boone stands out almost as much as El Morro itself. Ranger Boone welcomed us as we entered as if we were entering his own home. He told us the tale of the history of El Morro, it's cultural significance, walked us through the map of the park with expert experience. He told us about how he came to El Morro as a child and now has his dream job of working there. His passion and knowledge of the park and history made our trip to El Morro so much more special. Thank you Ranger Boone for making us feel so welcomed to El Morro. Thank you NPS for keeping the park in such excellent condition. So yeah, definitely come here. It was a fantastic hike, beautiful views, and cool history.

El Morro is a beautiful hidden gem in western New Mexico. The 2+ mile loop trail is super well-marked and scenic, with stairs carved right into the rock. Definitely go left at the trailhead, it’s an easier climb that way. The views from the top are incredible, and the historic carvings along the trail make it even more special. The park ranger we met was super helpful and friendly, pointing out cool spots we would’ve missed. The campground was also a nice surprise, quiet, clean, and surrounded by trees. Great stop if you’re passing through or looking for a peaceful place to camp.

Wonderful place to visit. See petroglyhs, inscriptions, take a hike up to the Pueblo ruins on top. Well worth the trip. The staff here is excellent , knowledgeable, and super friendly. Everything was well kept. Go see it.

Visited on 9.17.2025. The hiking trails to the top and along the perimeter of the rock formations are very easy and they provide some dramatic views. Highly Recommend spending a few hours here during a visit to New Mexico. Make sure you have plenty of water.

Been here many, many times over the years. It's a bit out of the way,but one of my favorite places to visit. A beautiful NM gem with a rich history. There is no charge for this site. A nice visitor center houses a small museum and gift shop. A mo is of the history of the area can be wat he'd upon request. There is a short trail, about a mile, that takes you to a pond, many signatures carved into the rock, and that goes up and over the buff, where there are spectacular views. You overlook a box canyon on top. There are also pueblo ruins. A long steep staircase brings you back down. I do like to pack a picnic lunch, as there is nowhere you can count on for food and the gift shop doesn't sell food. There is a water refilling station. It's definitely worth the side trip.

We had a fabulous day here hiking and climbing. Easily accessible. Trails are easy to follow and the entire place is photo worthy.

Closed. Really stupid to have this closed when nobody's needed to be there for you to walk around and do the hikes and such. Their website doesn't even have everything described correctly, it doesn't say that it is closed just that the visitor center is closed. Others drove around this and found that there's a big gate that's closed that doesn't let you go any further.

So as far as the lake and campground they are a 5 star. The reason I have a 1 star rating is the fact that I had caught my limit of trout and brought them back home to clean and while I was cleaning them I decided to see what else they were eating and checked the stomachs and found multiple live flatworms inside of them. And now I have to get my dog treated for flatworms as she likes to eat raw fish meat while I'm cleaning them. I have checked many fish from other lakes and this is the first time I've found flatworms inside of any trout I've caught in New Mexico. So please BE AWARE OF FLATWORMS INSIDE OF THE TROUT HERE.

Very beautiful, there is also a playground at the campsite for littlest. We did a nature walk for my little guy's 4th birthday and it was beyond gorgeous

Nice park overall. Can flood when it rains. Could hear dogs or coyotes in the distance most of the night. Many reserved spots and fewer campers present. Many bird wildlife species and decent fencing for safety. Lots of trails and great views on the lake side.

We really liked this place and found the people mostly to be friendly. However, it looks like they haven't allowed campfires there in years. We did a little swimming and it was very pleasant

At the time, we were unable to have a camp fire.. nothing to burn except the wood we brought with us for 50 yards.. didn't make any sense at all .. we left first thing in morning to go camping elsewhere... Last time 2 weeks before we had a great time.. why we went back.. fishing was no good at all.. nobody caught anything... We asked everyone.. but it was great to just get out and relax.. we camped in the primitive area next to the lake...

First time to visit. Nice lake, lots of space for primitive camping, as well as have a no wake zone. Makes it easy to use man powered vessels on the lake too. Will be back .

The campground has a mix of electric only, primitive, and tent only sites. There is a dispersed camping area on the lake shore. At least one dog was running off leash around the area. RV sites are not level but not terribly tilted. The site map was confusing but I finally found my reserved spot. I'd come back here again if in the area.

Visited on 9.17.2025. I walk through the Lava Flow to the cave is amazing. The fun begins Once you get to the cave. About halfway down the steps you can feel the temperature dropping from hot to cold, and once you are in the cave area, it is freezing inside. The views of the Ice and ice flows along the cave walls are amazing. It's fascinating that birds actually live in the cave walls. Highly Recommend.

Beautiful hike through the lava field lots of marked stops with numbers to read about on the guide. This is a self guided tour. Good shoes recommended. Bring a bottle of water and if you are prone to getting hot save the ice cave for last its 31° F all year. The Cinder cone of the Volcano is a good first stop then follow the loop down to the ice cave.

I visited this spot per the recommendation of my Uber driver from the airport. I had never heard of an ice cave before so I was definitely intrigued. Arriving at this location, I was greeted by an older gentleman who gave me a quick overview of the location and some history. I was also greeted by a darling Aussie named Rosie. I first hiked to the caldera, and I will say I was pretty underwhelmed. I was surprised to learn that New Mexico's geography was deeply shaped by volcanic activity long ago, but once it became very apparent that this was the case looking at the rocks. Along the path, you can find three different types of lava rocks. I then took the short hike to the ice cave and THIS is what made this trip worth it. What a unique feature and an experience climbing down into the cave. You go from scorching 90 degrees heat to a sudden drop in temperature as you descend into the cave. I was surprised to even see icicles! What a cool geologic feature and something I would suggest others seeing if they come to the area. The trading post was quaint, featuring a small museum of old pottery from indigenous people and had a selection of a multitude of trinkets.

Beautiful scenery, accessible and easier hiking for great views. Geological phenomenon with ice cave. Overall took about 1-1.5 hours to explore gift shop and complete the hike to the volcano and scenic trail to ice cave. Ready to get to from Albuquerque NM

I LOVED this!! I see the signs on the interstate but always have a horse trailer. Today I was in a car, yay! Cool little spot, awesome that it's privately owned, self guided with an info pamphlet; little gift store, super nice people; very interesting little spot!

The volcano was very interesting. A short, easy hike on a loop that includes the ice cave. The ice cave (really part of a collapsed lava tube) was fascinating, but a little disappointing that we could only look inside from a viewing platform. Well with a stop.

This was a cool experience not too far off the highway. It was a great break to stretch our legs during our drive from Arizona to Texas. I believe they had activities for kids but we didn’t have kids with us so I can’t say for sure. Definitely worth the stop.

El Malpais National Monument is an awe-inspiring destination that blends rugged volcanic landscapes with serene desert beauty. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the vastness and variety of the terrain—lava flows, sandstone bluffs, cinder cones, and the stunning La Ventana Arch all made for an unforgettable experience. We started our visit at the Sandstone Bluffs, which offered panoramic views that were absolutely breathtaking. The short hike to La Ventana Arch was easy and rewarding, and the arch itself is a natural wonder. We also explored the Lava Falls area, which felt like walking on another planet—challenging but totally worth it if you're up for a bit of scrambling. The visitor center (when open) is informative and welcoming, with friendly rangers who are passionate about the park’s geology and history. Even when it was temporarily closed, we found plenty of signage and online resources to guide us. This park is perfect for those who love geology, solitude, and off-the-beaten-path adventures. Just be sure to bring plenty of water, sturdy shoes, and a sense of wonder. We’re already planning a return trip to explore the lava tubes and hike more of the trails! A stunning landscape by land and from the air.

This monument was awesome. We are driving through NM and saw a sign for this place. We decided to take a quick pit stop and it was totally worth it. It only takes just a few minutes of great paved road to see true beauty. 10/10 worth it.

Great place to visit. Lava rocks. Bring water and a snack, as it's a remote location. There aren't too many trails, but a few excellent look-out points. Sunset and/or sunrise are highly recommended.

We visited El Malpais National Monument in July last year, and it ended up being one of the most unexpectedly rewarding stops of our trip. One of the biggest highlights for us was the campground, which turned out to be a hidden gem. It’s rustic and minimalistic in the best way, no frills, just pure, quiet solitude. We barely saw anyone else during our stay, and that seclusion made it feel like we had the entire place to ourselves. If you’re looking for a place to truly disconnect and get away from the crowds, this is it. Don’t skip the Sandstone Bluffs overlook or La Ventana Natural Arch, both are stunning. We explored a few short trails and scenic overlooks, and even in the summer heat, the dramatic landscape kept us captivated. If you’re into geology, photography, or just crave quiet places that still feel wild and untouched, El Malpais will absolutely deliver. This place is seriously underrated. We almost skipped it, and now it’s one of the spots we talk about the most from that trip.

Great place to do some fun scrambling, amazing views and great natural landmarks! Take plenty of water cause it gets hot!

A very beautiful drive up to the park. You start to see the lava flows for the volcano after you enter Pueblo Acoma prior to getting to the park. The Visitor Center is located at the top edge of the park with one small viewing trail. The other trails for the volcano are located 20-30 minutes away. You literally have to drive back up to Exit 89 to see the main part of the park. Not sure why they set it up like this. Also be aware some areas of the park requires you to have a 4x4 vehicle. Park is located approximately 60 minutes away from Albuquerque and 200 miles from Flagstaff. I-40 that carries you to the park parallels Route 66, so you’ll see some pretty cool stuff on the way up.

just WOW. Definitely worth a drive and hike if you have time to detour off I-40. Spectacular cliffs, and weirdly beautiful lava fields. There are a couple trailheads and picnic grounds worth stopping at!

It’s a lovely piece of jewelry, great color turquoise, beautiful pearls, made just for me. The piece is the right size to wear with everyday outfits or dressing up. They answered my questions quickly, delivered the piece as expected and followed us to see how the purchase went.

Best place to buy Authentic Native American jewelry in New Mexico! Love Courtney and the gang! I always stop here when traveling through!

I found this cute shop when it popped up on my reels. I LOVE that the products come straight from the artisans that create them! The customer service has been outstanding! When a recent multi-piece order, intended as a gift, arrived incomplete, I sent a message to the company. They responded quickly and ensured that the rest of the order arrived to me safe and sound! I have found my go-to place for Native made pretties!!!!!

I received my beautiful navajo pearl necklace and generous gift from Chaco Trading. I am very please with items and craftsmanship. I'll be back as I know they will take good care of me. Love my purchase. Thank you,Cathryn

Chaco Canyon Trading is an incredible place to find authentic Native American jewelry that truly reflects the artistry and heritage of the Zuni, Navajo, Hopi, and Pueblo people. Every piece is beautifully crafted with genuine turquoise and handcut stones, showcasing amazing attention to detail and traditional craftsmanship. They have a stunning selection of rings, earrings, belts, necklaces, bracelets, and watches, plus a great collection of vintage pieces that tell their own stories. Everything is made in the USA, and the quality is second to none.

HORRIBLE MERCHANT & COMPANY-BUYER BEWARE! This company is the worst and doesn’t ship items that they’ve already gladly taken your money for. Emailed them 3 times zero response. Called them at their store. Was told to call back on Monday. Called back Monday and a woman took a message and said someone would return my call. That was a pipe dream I guess because that never happened either. Called back again and now spoke to someone that looked up my order number and said I can expect a tracking number in maybe 2-3 weeks because the necklace still needs to be made. No where on their website does it mention that. Totally fraudulent. I’m now going to have to dispute this charge with my bank. Their website sucks too. There is no direct email address to contact them. You have to email through their website then you get canned AI response saying someone will get back to you with some no reply email address. Still no response and I emailed them almost a week ago. Their website doesn’t allow for you to look up your order or create an account either. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Stay away!! 1 star is way too many for this lame rip off company!

If you are even slightly interested in Native American jewelry-this is the place to go. Their prices are reasonable and they have a HUGE selection. Francis is absolutely a gem and helped me choose some gorgeous pieces. It is a MUST SEE stop.

What an informative and fun stop! Learn about Charles Lindbergh and how the TAT flew cross country, using concrete and metal ground arrows and then beacons. Great aerial photos of when Lindbergh flew over New Mexico areas and many years later, showing changes in the terrain. The volunteers were very welcoming and had great stories to share.

Very nice aviation history of navigation! Cheryl, the curator for the day and lifelong resident was very pleasant and informational about the local area. Glad we stopped in!

I was hoping that the third time would be the charm, but here we are – third time, no charm. I came by early on in the pandemic, and the grounds were lovely, though understandably the museum was closed. Fast forward two trips and two years, and the museum still is closed. The once clean grounds are choked with weeds and sadly, it looks abandoned. I was really hoping to get inside because the displays within the museum itself look to be fascinating. Hopefully, someone will clean up the property and get some people working inside once again. Hours posted on a sign or on the internet would be great, too.

Roadtrippers definitely doesn't give the correct directions. It's right at the airport so just Google maps that location. Overall it well put together for being a small operation and site. Unless you are seeking out this specific aviation history or want a 5 minute stop right off a route you are driving it could be a disappointing stop based on expectations.

Great to see things being preserved. Sorry I missed it being open.

As a geographer and one who knows about the arrows across America from the Transcontinental mail runs in the 1920s and 30s, I was thrilled to come by to see this fantastic exhibit.the museum is open on Saturdays but it's still worth a trip to see the outside exhibit and arrow with the beacon.

Excellent information regarding the early years of aviation in the Southwest.

Neat place. Unfortunately they were closed from 12 to 1 for lunch so we didn’t get to go inside. Cool stuff out back and front.

Very knowledgeable staff. Friendly and helpful. Very interesting to go into the uranium mine replica. They had lots of informative interactive displays.

I have 3 Minecraft loving kids, so when we were traveling across the country and I saw a sign for a real mine, we had to stop! We were not disappointed! It was small, taking maybe 30 minutes to walk through, and my kids could not have cared less about the history exhibit upstairs, but we walked that mine down below twice because it was a "real life mine!"

We had a great visit at the museum. The ground level features native artifacts, some as old as 1000+ years, and various mineral samples. We took the elevator to the lower lever mining exhibit, and the stories told by miners themselves (recordings available at each station) were fascinating. You can really appreciate the complexity of technology and the sheer enormity of human labor during the early mining endeavors.

A very nice museum. We learned a lot about uranium mining in the area. The staff was extra nice. Highly recommended.

Although I didn't visit the museum, I am adding these pictures of a mural I found in Grants that honor the town's mining heritage.

This museum was very cool. Our kids absolutely loved the replica of the mine. I would rate it 5 stars but communication could have been a little better. There were a couple field trips when we arrived there. The woman at the front desk made it sound like the mine needed to be done as a guided tour. We waited around for 20 minutes until we learned we could go in on our own. The staff was nice and everything else was great.

Very quiet visit and many interesting displays. Clean rest stop and leg stretch area. Indian hund made items and many books and other gift ideas!

We stayed nearby on our travel day so popped over to the visitor center before they opened. Fifteen minutes early they opened the gate to go to work. We took pictures outside and went a little up their trails to take pictures of the amazing view and some volcanic rocks. We entered the center as they opened. Lots of information and a free map of the site. Early is better as the heat rises all day. We were very comfortable. We even got to see the park ranger raise the flag for the day.

nice visitor center... to see the park, you actually need to drive a ways... we were just passing through so just checked our the vc... plan for at least a couple hours if you actually want to see anything...

The visitor center was closed today due to the shutdown, so we went to the east entrance, with access to the trails and overlook, all very beautiful.

Visitors should stop here first, both to get a map but also to get advice from friendly and knowledgeable staff/volunteers. Interpretative area excellent. Provides suggestions for visiting the entire area. The movie is excellent - don't skip it. It will explain the geology in a straightforward way so that when you see the area, even just driving by, you know what you are looking at. Locals, kids and adults, should come here, for the film and local outdoor suggestions. There's no federal fee charged.

One of the best visitor centers ever. I am so glad we stopped here.

Watch the documentary, The Ark and the Darkness. Then visit this area.

Clean, covered picnic areas and vault restrooms. The arch is visible from the parking area. Path is .5 mile, relatively flat, and graveled. The arch is beautiful! Worth taking a scenic off the highway to see it. The visitors center has limited days it is open so check online 1st.

Beautiful natural arch that you need to see in many different lighting and weather conditions to properly appreciate. The parking is ample and the viewing trail is short and easy. Would have given 5 stars but the bathrooms are pretty nasty even for pit toilets as it doesn't seem like they are ever cleaned or maintained other than occasionally restocking the toilet paper. These being the only public restrooms between Quemado and the gas station at I-40, they get considerable use and are often pretty disgusting, especially since they are used by folks who don't understand pit toilets and don't do the proper procedures to keep the smell down (1. ALWAYS CLOSE THE LID 2. Keep the door closed.)

Easy gravel trail with occasional shade. No place to sit if you need that. Impressive arch and monumental rock formations. We took our dogs, please take bags and clean up after your pet, too many piles of dog poop along the path left by irresponsible pet owners.

Love the views here! I wish we could hike up under the arch, like we used to many years ago. But they have a guard rail, and they don't want foot traffic past it. But still it's a great little walk back to the arch from the parking area. Beautiful place!

2nd time visiting this amazing place. Great climb and we'll worth the effort.

Great quick stop! The walk was easy and the views are incredible.

This place is awesome, it’s just a short walk and you’re allowed to bring your dog. This is a truly remarkable place, a giant arch made from natural stone towers taller than some of the biggest trees. There is a large parking lot where you can rest from driving and a small hike to see the arch, make sure you make time to check it out!

Lovely sandstone formations - the arch is amazing. They apparently don't want people hiking on the old trail that runs through the brush below the cliff face - no trail markings, and the metal railing barrier sends the message (though it's easy enough to slip between the bars). I was disappointed that the ranger station down the road a few miles was closed. It's only open on weekends.

This place is a total beauty. Quiet and off i40. The drive around is nice and pleasant. Lots to see and insure you give yourself atleast a day to check it out. Highly encourage you to check this place out and as always keep clean and have a fun peaceful time.

Beautiful beyond belief and so much to see in this area. The sandstone bluffs came highly recommended by the locals and certainly didn't disappoint! The heights we're dizzying and the view was magnificent. The history of the area and it's significance of the indigenous population of several tribes was interesting to experience and explore. Highly recommend making this a priority and must see.

Rock formations are breathtaking! Lava beds all over the place. This is a must see place to see when in the area. There is a picnic area halfway through the route. We saw deer, elk and a rare Mexican Gray wolf. What a treat! These pictures were taken in the beginning of Spring, mid April. We will be back to this place and explore its beauty.

A very interesting place. The lava flow from this shield volcano was quite high. I liked being able to walk on the lava and see all the interesting plants and trees that have taken root in it. Their are many types of flowering plants. You can see the regrowth of the trees nearby that had been damaged. I wish the trail had markers to follow. I didn't see any. The information marker says the trail is 1.1 miles. Have good tennishoes or hiking boots for the trail. It can be a little rough. Their is a restroom by the parking lot with a pit toilet. Their are two picnic tables with grills. Their is no shade. The road in is a little steep but I saw trucks with long campers, etc. The road is gravel which seems to be only one lane. I passed a small car. I wish it were bigger. Note: Really long campers may have some difficulty turning around in the parking lot. The length is maybe the size of a really long camper and truck but the width is the size of a medium to small camper and truck.

There is much more to El Malpais than meets the eye. You could spend weeks here and not hike the same area or see the same things. Some of the jewels are difficult to get and even dangerous if you are not prepared, but the varied topography and geological features are awesome. I hesitate to mention there are tons of Pioneer and Native American ruins to be found and if you do find them, PLEASE, do not disturb them or stand or sit on them and definitely don't take things. Don't forget the Lava Tubes, as they are a unique feature. Some of my pics cover the Conservation Area and others the national Monument. They literally are interconnected, so I often share things about them interchangeably, even though they do have separate organizations for operating them and slightly different rules for usage. I'd recommend going when it is not at the height of summer, as it can be brutally hot on the black lava rock. The forested areas are not so bad, but will still be hot. Drink lots of water, as people have died here due to heat and overexertion .

Well worth pull off the highway for. Stop at the visitor's center first. The rangers have all sorts of good information based on how long you want to explore. We ended up at the Sandstone Bluff overlook. Gorgeous.

I was traveling along I40 and needed a room for one night. The check in was very quick. The room was very clean and quiet. The hotel is right off the freeway with easy access. I had dinner in the café. It was very good with large portions and very reasonably priced. I will stay there again when traveling in the area.

Casino and restaurant staff were Awesome! Hotel staff were Soooo Rude… we walked into the room, bathtub was gross, refrigerator was on the floor the coffee pot in the bathroom which is nasty. We asked for another room because the bath tub was gross… the hotel employee tells us “ It’s just Rust it’s clean” which is unreal, she said we are booked so you can’t switch rooms, we ended up putting a towel in the tub to shower… I’d recommend the casino and the restaurant 100% but NO to the hotel.

The newly remodeled room gave a false sense of hope for a great stay. The restaurant was a service nightmare. We stood at the check-in podium for 5 minutes with numerous employees making eye contact, but not once "hey we'll be right with you" or "thanks for waiting". The host arrives and tells us to have a seat because they don't have any clean silverware. The call is over a few minutes later and seat is at a table...no menus, no silverware, no nothing. A larger party is seated next to us a few minutes later. They have menus and silverware. A server goes to their table and gets their drink order. She leaves without a word or glance towards us. We wait several more minutes and I finally catch the eye of a different employee who is very apologetic and he gets our drinks. He also alerted the server from the other table and she came to get our order. We waited over 30 minutes for the food, which was not bad (the food). There was no check back, I had to flag the server down for a refill on a soda, and literally walked over to the service galley to get a take out box. Finally done we head over to the concert area and enjoy a great show (Hair Ball was fantastic) after which we head back to the room. Worst sleep ever! The pillows are just folded sheets placed inside pillow cases and the mattress was like sleeping on rocks. I seriously considered going to Walmart in Grants to buy a pillow. This was not an inexpensive room and I really would have expected better overall. I do want to say that all of the staff members were kind and helpful. Maybe this was just bad luck, but PLEASE PLEASE bring your own pillow.

Stayed here with my father recently and was not the best. Checked in process - Front desk person was not welcoming at the time of check in. Had stayed here in the past and expected the same level of service but lacking. Had requested for a third floor room with two beds as in the past there were always some available. The front desk clerk informed us all 3rd floor rooms have only one bed so options were 1st or 2nd floor. She provided us our keys and did not tell us where our room was located or any hotel amenities. We had to hunt for our room only to find it clear across the hotel, mind you I am using a cane as well. Room Review - Our room had no carpet that made the room echo with every step only having linoleum floors. Bed mattress was comfortable however the frame itself moved all night long, as it felt like it was missing a bolt. Every time you moved on it, it would hit the floor or felt like it was going to fall apart. The pillows were small and firm, better off stuffing a t shirt with clothes and sleeping with that. There was no phone, and thinking from a safety standpoint, if there was an emergency who do you contact? The room was limited with only one trash can in the bathroom. No shelves in the shower along with no vent making the whole room humid when you shower. Corner lamp light was out. Limited outlets available throughout the room for technology or charging items. No bottle water available, however there is a snack vending machine about 100 yards down the hall, The noise from the hall was excessive, all night you will hear doors opening and closing. People talking excessively loud, making it hard to sleep. Window view. The pool also looks like it need maintenance as it looks green in comparison to the hot tub. The walkway I would not walk underneath as that is a safety issue as well. Overall - If you had a choice to stay here or drive the extra distance to either Albuquerque or Grants to get a good nights sleep, make the drive. The rate is excessive for what your get here. Customer service is lacking and unwelcoming. If you are a senior or have mobility issues this is not the hotel to stay at.

I love this place. 49.00 per night accommodations for pro trck drivers. Good food clean rooms and a really friendly staff. I stop every chance I get, and I tell other guys about it. Always a good experience. If you are a driver, I highly recommend this place!

1st time there for an Amphitheater event. Reserved a suite. After reading reviews I was a little sketchy and even took some over sheets and pillows. I was absolutely amazed when walking in! It is beautifully set up and so pleasantly designed! A circular coffee bar right at your fingertips! The front desk manager was friendly and welcoming, however, the check-in staff member could've used a bit more personality. Everyone else we encountered were amazing! Now, to the room... absolutely amazing! 3rd floor suite.. very clean and inviting... 3 great sized rooms with a balcony that overlooked the event center.. unbelievable shower, full size fridge, comfortable bed and a sink in the "kitchen" with an eat-at bar.. I would seriously like to see this as a rentable apartment option! Casino was a perfect size with a lounge and restaurant with buffet and single order options. Food was so-so, but very affordable and the service was friendly. The slots were "tiiiggggt".. lastly, the courtyard was phenomenal with so many accommodating options.. for loungers, swimmers and hottubbers, and smokers.. overall, best accommodations I've experienced in a long time.. Will be back!!! OH!!! Price.... unbelievably affordable! Would post pics if I had the option!

First and foremost, I didn’t stay here so I can’t rate rooms or anything like that. My Co-driver had an experience that leads me2 believe that these slots are pretty tight. 😂 I’m the FatMan always there 4 the food 🥘 I had a good experience in the restaurant & the service was good also. I’d do it again next time I’m in this neck of the woods. So check em out if you’re ever in the neighborhood and Holla at a Playa. 👌🏾

The cultural center and museum have a small sample and history of the Acoma pueblo. The primary reason to visit is it is the place to get tickets and visit the Pueblo itself. The Pueblo is very interesting, being one of, if not the oldest continually inhabited cities in North America. Some notes here are worthwhile. Bring water. It is not available for purchase on site, so buy or bring some from where you are coming from. The website does not indicate this, but the tour is one and a half hours, and the Pueblo is on a high,dry, hot mesa. Also, signs and the website indicate pictures are not allowed, nor are cell phones. Our guide told us still photos are allowed, just not in the church and other religious locations, and cell phones are permitted, so if you want to send a selfie, you can. During the tour, local artisans have various items on sale. You can buy them, and they are open to discussion on price. To leave the Pueblo, you can take the bus, or use the "stairs". These are not normal stairs, but are carved into the side of the mountain to get down. There are railings and handholds, but the elevation is close to 8000 feet and the descent is about 350 feet. I recommend the stairs if you are reasonably fit and have good balance, otherwise, take the bus back down. One other recommendation. Bring and wear sunscreen. Much of the tour is outside with little relief from sun exposure.

Amazing! Our tour guide Jeremy was such a nice, genuine person. His knowledge as an Acoma tribal member was deep. Sky City is a place that has been inhabited since 1100 AD (at least) so there's lot to learn, understand and just absorb. Native tip: last tour is 3:30pm. That's when we went and we got a personal tour, just me, my girl and our tour guide. (he let us blow out the candles on the altar at St Esteban since we were the last tour!) Also show your tribal ID for a discount (Thank you!!!).

The cultural center is where one is able to watch a short video about the history of the Acoma and how they came to live on the mesa, as well as purchase tour tickets. Then a van drives visitors a short distance up the steep road to the top of the mesa. Once there, the tour guide (our wonderful guide was Gail. Amazingly knowledgeable) explains the physical features of the homes (old and newer), how the few who live there live day to day without electricity and running water, the church, the culture and it's vibrancy still today, feast days, and where and how the Acoma are actually living today. Super interesting and enjoyable.

Acoma is a very special place to visit. It's a treasure that everyone should take the time to tour. The people are warm, welcoming, and love to share their art and history. As an American citizen, we take so much for granted. Acoma helps us to realize just how fortunate we really are and have been.

Nice getaway. It's educational. Lots of history. Great tour guides. Relaxing. Tour is about 1 hour in length.

We arrived at 10am as we saw in the website that tours are at 10:30, apparently at this day there was a tour at 9:30 for vip group so the next tour was at 11:30 so we had to wait 1.5 hours. The tour itself was very interesting. We enjoyed it. The only thing that bother me was that they are trying to sell their products every where in the tour.

What a hidden gem! Magnificent landscape, beautiful people, rich history. Our tour guide, "Gubi," is among the few people who still live on top of the mesa. We learned so much from him about the Acoma dating back to 1140 AD, with stories of his own family's history. Highly recommend!

The restaurant used to be a good place to eat. Lately the service has been unfriendly and unattentive. Not to mention the food being over cooked or a child's pizza being a frozen pizza and just warmed up sloppy. My child didn't even want to eat. My rib plate looked like it was dug up from grave and sucked dry by a village vampire. The BLT bacon looked like it was burnt on purpose and only received ONE refill on my beverage. No more stops here And I do not recommend this place unless your part of their tribe you'll get the cold shoulder. No wonder it's always empty at this eating place.

I have just changed my mind if you are living in grants and you are casino go over every evening then this is a casino for you a good paycheck I would say with about 7K in a week I do appreciate the extra couple of minute drive to dance with the eagle at dancing eagle

Small but pleasant casino, no bar but if you purchase a full meal you can order a beer. The casino has a bingo hall and a snack bar. Prices are on the higher side but if you dig into the menu for the restaurant and snack bar you can find some reasonable prices. My recommendations are nacho supreme at the restaurant and green chile cheese fries at the snack bar. Fountain drinks and coffee is free. Casino can get chilly so bring a jacket!

Stop by for lunch was on a 15 minute waiting list which was about 45 min in reality before we were seated waited another 15 minutes for a server to ask what drinks we wanted server was nice tho. Noticed lot of employees standing around talking when they could be taking orders or helping more business come in looks like bad management or lack of customer service food was 7/10 not bad just service could have been better

I had went to pick up a order to go and the lady Donna was very rude. She had to wave someone down to wait on me when she could've helped me instead. You need to get your employees to work on their customer service skills.

Great place we discovered by accident, at first I was kind of bummed out because I had lost $300 and my friend was winning but then my luck changed and I ended up winning $800. I will definitely be stopping here again. But this time much earlier because I want to try the taco bowl.

Very clean and no smoking!!! Yay. Impressed with how clean this was and dh little RV park wasn’t fancy but super clean and quiet. Would definitely stay here again with our RIG.

Beautiful place! Makes it even more special that it's an adventure to get out there! Be mindful of the people living around the area and the ruins if you go though!

Very cool. Very remote. Keep away until it's dry if you don't have a 4x4 with aggrrssive mud tires. Its about an hour of dirt roads each way. 30 minutes of that there will be no phone service if you get stuck. There are stone and pottery artifacts everywhere. Be good and don't steal them or they will be gone forever. Watch for beef calves running out in front of you as you pass through the ranches.

Beautiful views and history. Must have a vehicle with good ground clearance to get here.

Remarkable ruins with a beautiful view. Very difficult to get to; roads are marked as private property but are the only way there. No signage by the road to guide you. Much of the pottery has been stolen by now.

Beautiful area with amazing ruins and artefacts.

Outstanding, other than the 2 hour drive from ABQ, last 10 on no_go roads when wet.

Guadalupe Ruin, the easternmost Chacoan Outlier, is a single-story masonry pueblo situated on an isolated sandstone mesa rising nearly 200 feet above the valley floor. The road to the ruin can be a challenge when it has rained but is well worth the trip if you are interested in New Mexico history.

When we arrived they were doing construction on their hotel area and we had to enter over by the pool area, it was a little confusing and that exterior door was locked, so a gentleman that worked there helped open it for us. When we booked the reservation the desk Clark stated for us to enter through that door; however, it was locked and you could not. The rooms are basic, nothing special, but the beds were extremely comfortable and they did have a nice large refrigerator for your personal use and a Keurig machine which is always a plus. The room in bathroom was clean and very comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful. We played a few slots and they are some of the tightest slots we have ever played. It's a nice stopping point during your travels, but I definitely would not stop there to play in the casino because of how tight everything was and you rarely got into any of the bonuses. We did have dinner and watch a ballgame with a few drinks in their sports bar that was very good.

This was an unexpected stay but impressive stay. The room for handicap accessible was not just accessible but useable as well!!! Kudos!!! Well designed for the ability to move around and function. Even the bed was the perfect height. We had a great night's rest after a fun evening in the casino plus a visit to the Stadium 66 for dinner. Stadium 66 perfect place for watching a game and picking up a bit to eat. Service was amazing! Thank you for a memorable stop!

Ok I usually like to play in this establishment. This time however was the worst experience I have had at a hotel. First of all I am an amputee and I have a hard time getting around with my prosthetic. I was told that if I needed help they would assist that was never offered. They are currently doing construction and THERE IS NO HANDICAP PAKING had to park 6 rows back on the far side of the casino and walked forever and had 2 rest twice.i had problems with the lamp and the shower was leaking I made a request with maintenance I called at 8 am nobody comes by until after 3 calls he gets there at 6pm and says he can’t fix either. He says someone will changes room after 3 hours of waiting for that call they say all supervisors are gone for the day we are now on day 3 I asked to speak to the supervisor at 8 in the morning because I was woken up at 6:30 by construction vehicles beeping constantly. I make 6 total trips to the front desk and waited till 4:20 still no manager she leaves at 2:30 so I finally sit and wait at the front desk I wait for 15 min for a supervisor and she sends the maintenance guy I asked why nobody called to change my room 2 days ago he said he didn’t know I WAS IGNORED the whole time. No help getting help to getting my things to the car. The only good thing I had the most amazing housekeeping staff who on the last day fixed the lamp. Do not stay here if you can avoid it. I spent over 2000 dollars there and could not even get anyone who would even acknowledge me. Stay at Sandi’s or isletta where they take care of you and want your business Also the rooms are outdated and no microwaves in the rooms and you have to request your room to be cleaned they don’t do it automatically

If this casino spent as much concern with the inside of this hotel, as they do the outside, it would be a decent place to stay. Hair on the floor hair in the sink, dirt in the sink, old a c heating unit that kept only one side of the room to the right temperature. Thin enough walls that you could hear clothes being hung up next door and a water bottle that had already been opened. The pillows were nice and the refrigerator was large. But with the lack of cleanliness, it was kind of concerning to sleep in the bed at all. The food on site is very good, which is good because it's too far out from doing anything.

DO NOT STAY HERE OR EAT HERE! 3 food places had the worst food! Old food, been out ALL day, and dried out! Bathroom sink didn't drain. No towel racks in bathroom. ALL elevators were down and they allowed the fire escape OUTSIDE door to be left open (unattended) ALL night! Take my word for it! They don't care about their customers but they don't have to because they are sovereign law so they can do what they want!!

I've been to a concert at Legends Theater but I decided to bring my wife here for her birthday and she loved it. We also tried the buffet which was on crab leg night and it was worth the price. I can't wait to come back for more fun

Great stop for traveling thru. If you get a players card and play some slots, they will send you some awesome perks. I got 2 free nights, 30 for food and 30 for gas. I left better than I went in on this trip. Love it!!

Nice museum love how they show and give kids the opportunity to show their talent

I hate to give public places a bad rating, but this little museum needs an infusion of money. The main exhibit was middle school drawings. We enjoyed the maps, and the donated organ, but mostly it wasn't worth the time.

I'm from Arizona and love visiting this museum. History layout is great, friendly employees/volunteers are very helpful and all are knowledgeable. This is the best gift shoppe for birthday's, and holiday's with local arts & crafts. Very interesting history of the people who made Los Lunes, Belen and the surrounding areas. I look forward to my newsletter and my next visit.

What a gem. Go you will love it. Small, but filled with good art. The lady we met was very informative and pleasant. They have a great line up for the near future. No charge, just donations. I will be going back.

My wife and I attended the artist reception of Mr. Eddie Ramirez. It is an honor to know Mr. Ramirez and a greater honor to have the Master Art of Mr. Ramirez here in our back yard. Thank you Los Lunas Museum for recognizing such great talent within the community of Los Lunas and our surrounding communities. Keep up the great work.

Was pretty nice friendly place. Free of charge great place to take the family.

Nice little museum. They do a great job of promoting local artists, young and older. Their rotating exhibits provide a great deal of information.

Very interesting history with lots of exhibits. Walking through the dining, kitchen and public areas made it a realistic experience. Seeing the upstairs dorms of the employees with lots of original photos helped me to visualize how my grandparents would have worked and lived. The volunteers who run things were very informative.

A sweet little bit of history being preserved by dedicated volunteers. Our docent was so knowledgeable and friendly and answered all of our questions. We got to the museum about half an hour before closing but they didn't rush us at all, which I appreciated. They have a good gift shop as well. I was sorry we weren't there at a time the cafe is open - the food looked good!

We enjoyed our stay and the amazing tour. This is certainly a must-stop when visiting Albuquerque and the surrounding area. Our small group learnt a lot about the Fred Harvey history and the strict prinicples of this business. Our tour guide (sorry, I don't remember her name) was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She did a great job, thanks!

5 STAR Review! Everyone was just LOVELY! My son wants to be a WWII Historian & just absolutely had a FABULISTIC time. The Museum captured such a neat essence in time. Everyone had something to share that made our visit so memorable. My Mom, that's 81 young, really enjoyed herself as well. The food was so delicious & fresh. My son has autism, so his palette is picky & he loved every bit of the bacon & caramelized onion quiche & EVERYTHING on his plate. The gift store was amazing with so many neat things to gauk at. We bought aprons, mints, soaps & cards. My son also received some amazing books. Thank you to everyone that served & informed us. Dory & Wade Dyer

What a awesome place, the museum itself is very cool and informative, $5 for a tour by some lovely ladies. And they have a cafe!!! Got some awesome deserts and sat in there cute area. 10/10 would recommend!

I loved learning about the history of the Harvey house. Its beautiful decorated old fashioned from the times it was once being used as a restaurant with Harvery women and workers by the railroad. Now during the holidays its beautifully decorated with Christmas trees and lights like no other place on New Mexico. It's fun for adults and children to see!

I stopped in to the Harvey House Museum on Saturday just before the opening time. Francis came out to where I was sitting and asked me if I would like to come into the museum, "yes of course." The roof access to stand under the 'livecam' was cool but what surprised me was the quality and care that goes into this local museum. I was treated like a VIP from arrival to departure. Great experience.

People on the phones are unhelpful, rude and not willing at all to listen. I called for information and all I got was a “have a good day” and immediately was hung up on. I was excited to go here for the first time, but with this kind of atrocious customer help I won’t be supporting at all. YOU have a good day :)

This is a real gem in Valencia County. A wide variety of art at very reasonable prices - especially compared to Santa Fe and Albuquerque galleries. Many rooms to explore and fun to just browse.

It's a small gallery, however, the gallery has a very nice range of various artists that are very talented. A nice range of media. Make it appoint to visit this intimate gallery where the people are great, nice and a lot of fun. It was so enjoyable to visit. You really won't be disappointed!!!! I had a great chat with Heidi that pointed out so many nice art pieces and a bit of history behind some of these pieces and the artists that created these pieces.

Very beautiful pieces and cute ones too. Dishware, jewelry, watercolor,paintings,drawings,purses/bags, tiles, glass blown jewelry, knitted blankets, yarn and fun trinkets. Definitely stop by and check it out. Closed on Sundays and Monday's.

This is one of the most amazing small local artist galleries in the area. Showcasing some wonderful talent there is a little something for every taste here. Beautiful works of jewelry, pottery, paintings, and many other pieces are here and they are all produced by people that live in the area so they have that local touch that simply cant be mass produced.

I went in expecting something great from the reviews. But I look at the art and it’s a bit amateur drawings/ paintings. Almost like a child/ kid had done them. Customer service was okay, more focused on her children. Will not be returning.

Wonderful arts and crafts gallery in Tome, NM. Much bigger with more items than it looks like from the outside. Artists manning the gallery very helpful and knowledgeable. Prices very reasonable. A very short, beautiful drive from ABQ.

Rocky hike with decent elevation for the area. Medium difficulty. The west trail is definitely the easier hike.

Easy to get to. Nice hike. Took me and my 4 year old son 20 min to get to the top. Pretty steep and rugged in a few spots. Took pictures of about 50 petroglyphs on the East slope of the hill. They look a lot like the petroglyphs in ABQ. Nice view

This hill is a beautiful, rustic, historic and religious place. The top of the hill has sweeping views of the Rio Grande Valley to the west and the Manzano Mountains to the east. It is an inspiring experience to pray and sing at 3 crosses at the top of the hill. There is no admission or parking fee. The trail is rocky and steep in places. There is no bathroom on site. The Dollar Tree store on NM State Highway 47 which 1.4 miles to west of Tome Hill, has a customer restroom and sells bottles of water.

Hill used for religious pilmigrages. The hill has three crosses as in the calvary. There are great views from the top of the hill. The climb up from the parking area takes about 30 minutes for someone with bad knees.

Interesting sculpture. Not a lot of anything else to see here unless you hike to the top of the hill, which I did not do.

It's actually private property, but the public is allowed to visit. There was a lake once but now there's no sign of it.

History site worth visiting

Played on SuperBowl Sunday 2025. How sad, this used to be such a beautiful course, but it is in pretty bad shape right now. We all know that winter golf in NM can be rough, but this is way worse than just winter damage. I hope the course gets the attention it needs, the community deserves better! I think the golf cart we had was older than my oldest son, he is 35. Fingers crossed for better equipment, management, and customer service!!! I gave it 2 stars because for the most part, the greens were ok. That is all I can say.

Had a great day of golf here but don't take your game seriously when playing this course. Pro shop closed, no range balls. Greens and tee boxes are nice but fairways need a lot of work. Dirt landing zones cause no roll or wayward bounces causing lost balls. Sand traps overgrown with weeds. Views are awesome, layout would be fun if course was up to par. Staff very nice, beer cold and affordable (they even provide ice and an ice chest). Buildings and restrooms need updates badly. All in all, nice place. Just needs some work to bring it up to its potential.

Great course, friendly staff, delicious food. Would be 5 stars if they maintained the leaves a little more. So many balls lost due to leaves during the fall season! Good ocasional meals

Lovely shaded, pond-side location for a wedding

Tierra Del Sol is definitely rising. The new owners have definitely revitalized this course, and they are both really nice and personable guys. Greens are amazing and the fairways are narrow and challenging. This course is definitely a hidden gem!

Course is in pretty bad shape, a lot of dirt. Really parched. They really want your email address to hit you over and over.

Under new ownership, Greens are looking good, rough is very rough stay on fairways.
