Los Alamos provides a convenient and economical base for exploring the diverse cultural and sightseeing opportunities offered by North Central New Mexico. Since Los Alamos is only 37 minutes from NMO, traveling UP there (it’s almost 7,400ft elevation) …gives up a “blast of the past”, which is to say..it has a Starbucks and a huge Campus (Los Alamos National Labs) ..and a large grocer with relatively special items (Smiths).

Los Alamos has it’s own “bedroom community” suburb, White Rock ..which overlooks the Rio Grande ..which forms a very magnificent canyon as it runs thru the Jemez Mtns..as well as several other neighborhoods. The picture on the above right was taken in “the ole days” of research.
