If you’d like a little bit more elegant dining this is the place to go to in town. The food is always impeccable. There is a formal dining area but you can also sit at the bar and watch sports.

Smiths is similar to a “super” Walmart providing a wide-array of merchandise. They have a bar with a TV where we have enjoyed hot toddies and freshly made sandwiches. They also offer a variety of prepped food items and grocery curbside pick up. Just download the smiths app.

The Los alamos ski club was started by soldiers and scientists in 1943. As many were immigrants from Europe and had grown up climbing and skiing in the Alps creating the ski area was second nature. There are 44 trails, 5 lifts and generally no lines. They have rentals, lessons and a ski lodge. They have beer and band events from time to time.  Check out their website for seniors, kids and women’s specials. There’s also a 12km cross country ski course that can be accessed from the parking lot.

1.5 mile walk along a mesa, viewing caves, petroglyphs and the Ancestral Pueblo village of Tsankawi. Ladders are a required part of this trail. The trail is very exposed to the elements and should not be taken during localized thunderstorms. Can be slippery in the winter time when snows on the ground and extremely hot in the summertime and the sun is at full height. There is a fee but it can also be applied to Bandelier national Monument.

Bandelier National Monument protects over 33,000 acres of rugged but beautiful canyon and mesa country as well as evidence of a human presence here going back over 11,000 years. Petroglyphs, dwellings carved into the soft rock cliffs, and standing masonry walls pay tribute to the early days of a culture that still survives in the surrounding communities.
