Short vacation in the southwest, where should I go?
I would like to meet my friend from Portland for a couple of days over thanksgiving vacation. I live in Albuquerque. Where should we meet that would make sense? It has to be something nature related. Where we can go on hikes and camp. One or both os us could fly, if need be. I would prefer a drive of 8 hours or less if I could help it.
Mesa Verde is beautiful this time of year, as is the whole of south west Colorado.
