Gay & Lesbian Travel:
Albuquerque, NM
New Mexico's largest city, set dramatically at the base of the
soaring Sandia Mountains, makes a great - and affordable - base
for exploring the rest of the Land of Enchantment. Albuquerque
lies just 60 miles south of Santa Fe and within an afternoon's
drive of countless Indian pueblos, beautiful hiking and biking
spots, and challenging ski areas.
The "Duke City" (named for the city's founder, the Duke of
Alburquerque - the first "r" was later dropped) enjoys a sunny,
mild climate, and it's home to New Mexico's only gay bars as well
as a handful of gay-owned B&Bs and restaurants. And throughout
2006, Albuquerque celebrates its tricentennial with dozens of
performances, events, and museum installations that trace its rich
and vibrant history.
