Never Been

Hi all, I plan on traveling here for the first time for my birthday. I’m wanting to travel to one new place a year. I did a randomizer and landed on New Mexico! I’m from Indiana and I’ve never been to the west coast so this will all be brand new to me. I know pretty much nothing about what to do in Albuquerque so any tips or information you all could give me would be amazing! I love museums, aquariums, etc. I want to also try food and different spots we don’t have in Indiana. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks everyone for all the info and the advice! I’ll save this for when I go in July and i’ll be sure to post some pictures!

Edit 2: Haha sorry i’m a bit of an idiot 😂 New Mexico definitely isn’t the west coast. Thanks for all your help again everyone!!

Well. New Mexico is a long ways from the west coast. It depends on what time of year. If your bday is summer, I’d stay north of I40. Winter/south. Enchanted circle is amazing.

Yes. I would recommend the enchanted circle. ABQ to Santa Fe to Taos and then angel fire and red river.
