Farmington, NM (1 mi)
Denver Sectional
Elevation: 5503

The airport sits on a plateau so you automatically get an extra 1000 feet of above surface altitude very shortly after takeoff. The restaurant in the terminal has great Mexican food. From here you can fly over Chaco Canyon, or to Monument Valley, Gallup, see Jim Chee at Shiprock or go on to Page, AZ. (ked 9/94)

Santa Fe, NM (9 mi)
Albuquerque Sectional
Elevation: 6348

A pueblo-style terminal lets you know what state you’re in when you land. Travel into the town and visit the Governor’s Palace, the Museum with the works of most of the famous artists who worked in the Southwest. The food is outstanding, needless to say. Indian Market takes place in late August and is a must if you can time it. (ked/gv/dd/md 9/94)

Taos, NM (6 mi)
Denver Sectional
Elevation: 7091

Fly in to a beautiful and only flat spot in the area. You can see the ski slopes from the terminal. The Taos Pueblo is worth a visit, as well as the rest of town. There is frequently an outdoor art show with all kind of good things to see and taste. (ked/gv/dd/md 9/94)
