Parks & Nature
A great view of the entire city while suspended on a tram line that runs from the foothills to the peak of the mountains. There's also a number trails at the peak which make for a great afternoon of hiking. Definitely dress for the peak, though; it's cold up there!

Essentials
There are Smith's all over town. This is the one nearest my apartment; it is also the smallest one. It's great for essentials, but keep in mind that options can be somewhat limited.

Getting Around
There are a number of alternative car rental shops in the same plaza. So, you can always shop around and compare prices; I just prefer Enterprise.

This is where the Rail Runner stop is for Albuquerque. It's a public train with two lines that run through Northern and Southern New Mexico. It's a great, safe way to get to a day of activities in Santa Fe and then back to Albuquerque cheaply and quickly. Also a great way to soak in some beautiful views of the New Mexican natural landscape.
