The Skinny

What: Aztec Ruins National Monument, 725 Ruins Road, Aztec, NM, 87410, (505) 334-6174. Admission is free.
How to Get There: From the north or south, pick up US 550 (a magnificent road). From the east or west, it’s US 64 to either US 550 or New Mexico SR 516 north. Upon entering the town of Aztec, watch for the sign to Aztec Ruins National Monument.
Best Kept Secret: Perhaps the Aztec Ruins National Monument itself. We had never heard of it. For grand dining, try Rubia’s Fine Mexican Dining in Aztec (we had chile rellenos and sopapilla el grande con pollo and they were superb).
Avoid: Leaving without checking the weather (the area can experience snow and freezing temperatures in the winter).
