11. Northern New Mexico Road Trip

Almost all the suggested stops here are within an hour of each other. Still, give yourself a week to see everything. Begin in Albuquerque, New Mexico’s largest city, where the major airport is found. Check out picturesque Old Town sometime before you leave.  

Next, head for Santa Fe, the state’s most beautiful city and capital. See the Spanish Colonial Palace of the Governors and soak in the hot springs at Ten Thousand Waves. Stop at Los Alamos, where the infamous atomic bomb was developed, the pilgrimage site Chimayo, and Taos, too, where you can see a Native American pueblo.   

12. The Denver To Yellowstone Loop

From Denver, you can take a trip to see three of the country’s most well-known national parks: Grand Teton National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and famous Yellowstone National Park. Head first to the charming town of Estes Park which provides easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park.

The next stop is Yellowstone National Park to spend time checking out the geothermal pools, great geysers, and wildlife. Then head back to Denver, stopping at Grand Teton National Park to enjoy Jenny Lake and the views along popular Mormon Row. Give yourself a week or two.
