New Mexico locations

there have been many good suggestions already but I will add my favorite- Acoma, also known as Sky City, is just west of Albuquerque and is a thousand year old continously inhabited town with ancient structures on top of a huge mesa. There are photo restrictions and permits to deal with but it is remarkable. Don't forget Rt 66 itself as a photo op. be sure to check out the New Mexico scenic byways website, it'll keep you occupied for quite a while.
