1. Angel Peak Recreation Area

The Recreation Area offers easy day hikes.

For free its a good spot. Very few level spots for tents. Pretty scenery. But!!!!! Its an active drilling area, so smell of petroleum and sounds of venting and drilling all night long. The oil wells and roads definitely detract from the view.
2. Aztec Ruins National Monument

Spectacular ruins where visitors can enter the only reconsructed kiva in the Southwest.

My wife and I had a great time at the Aztec Ruins National Monument. We got more than we expected. First, there were only a few people at the park. The park ranger was really helpful and gave us his undivided attention for about 15 minutes. Be sure and see the film in the museum. It is only 15 minutes but gives a good overview of the ruins. Also be aware all of the artifacts in the museum were found at the site. The museum is small so with the movie it only takes 45 minutes at the most. Walking through the ruins was a real treat. We learned much about the culture and lifestyle of the people. When tour the ruins you can get a book which tells about 18 different viewing points - or you can simply call the number for the cell phone tour and hear a person read exactly what you find in the book. We had both, just listen on your cell phone. That way you don't have to haul around the book the whole time. We spent around 2 1/2 there and had a great time. It is well worth visiting! Here's a food tip. If you are heading south on US 550, there a great BBQ place in Bloomington - about 15 minutes from the ruins called "Serious Texas BBQ." It was great! Try to BBQ tacos!

I haven't been here despite visiting Farmington for over 20 years. Well worth a stop. A great little museum attached. Support your local ruins and help them improve their outside exhibit. A neat little gift store with great native carvings for sale.
4. Aztec Museum and Pioneer Village
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
Aztec Museum and Pioneer Village let visitors experience pioneer life in the American West. Aztec's history of human habitation goes back a thousand years, when Native Americans settled along the Animas River. Pioneer Village gives visitors the opportunity to revisit a community of the early American West. Children will enjoy climbing aboard the caboose and going in a one-room schoolhouse, just two of the many Pioneer Village buildings and exhibits. Visit Aztec Museum and Pioneer Village to learn about modern Aztec's early days.

This museum is typical in some ways, with eclectic displays of various artifacts, a small village, etc., but it does an above average job of interpretation. The staff (volunteer and a new paid individual on her first day) are enthusiastic and generally knowledgeable.
The museum has one unique exhibit - a rotating cyclorama, hand carved, with various western themes and a musical accompaniment.
We were sorry to see that the museum cat, who'd led us around the village on our first visit in 2004, was no longer remembered.
5. Memory Lane Antiques & Collectibles
