West Old Town Travel Guide

Albuquerque

Albuquerque has a beautiful botanical garden. A mid-October visit rewarded us with quite a number of blooms.

If you like Cacti, and I do, the garden has some very healthy cactus for you to enjoy.
San Felipe Catholic Church in Old Town Albuquerque.
Botanical Gardens of Albuquerque boast a variety of flowers, and stylized gardens from across the globe. Everything from the Spanish/Moorish gardens of southern Spain, to Japanese zen gardens. A giant dragon guards the children's fantasy garden, protecting the secrets within. 

This shining example of beauty sits atop a cactus in the southwestern section, and can be found throughout New Mexico and Arizona. As always, respect the bees. They keep the beauty going.
The bosque riverside trail, recently upgraded to a 5-foot wide path of crusher fine to make it fully accessible, includes the addition of this lovely new bridge. Mayor Richard Berry crosses it with his publicist following the grand opening ceremony, August 2017

The staff was friendly and the hotel clean. However, it's very dated. Also, they don't have elevator access which they do mention in the description but if you don't carefully read what the hotel provides, you'll miss it and be surprised at check in.
