Things to do in Albuquerque, New Mexico (NM): The Best Lessons & Workshops

August 11, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

Whether you're into history, culture, outdoor adventures or just in need of some new and unique scenery, Albuquerque offers exciting attractions for all ages and interests, anytime of the year. In the historic section of Old Town, ancient Indian and Spanish cultures come to life through old churches, quaint shops and piazzas, winding brick paths and adobe benches. Browsers can spend a whole day making their way through the more than 100 stores, boutiques and galleries that sell Southwestern goods as well as unique products from around the world. During the winter holiday season, Old Town is adorned with small lit candles and thousands come to stroll through the streets, listen to live music and celebrate. It is truly a sight to see. But the history doesn't stop there. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the Petroglyph National Monument offer a glimpse of old Indian customs and art. Families will find plenty to do at the Albuquerque Biological Park, which features a zoo, aquarium and botanic garden. Outdoor types will find ample opportunities for hiking, biking and golf. After working up an appetite, head to any number of fine restaurants that serve up a choice of hot or even hotter New Mexican cuisine. To top it all off, take a ride on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway for spectacular views of all this vibrant city has to offer.

New Mexico Pinon Coffee

Twenty years ago, New Mexico Pinon Coffee Company started with the original owner roasting coffee out of the back of his classic red pickup truck in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Today, New Mexico Pinon Coffee is one of the largest coffee roasters in the state of New Mexico, roasting over 1 million pounds of coffee since 2015. We offer over 25 different flavors, including our popular Traditional Piñon blend, and a gift shop filled with coffee gifts and essentials.

My daughter wanted this brand of Pinon Coffee and some local Pinon incense and I was able to get them both in one stop! But I was unprepared for the easy grace of the shopkeeper and her willingness to go the extra mile to get my daughter's things shipped to the Northwest. I will go back just because they were so sweet.

My training with Jim was great. He is totally thorough with training and safety is #1 priority. Jim is totally professional and i would suggest him as a teacher for anyone looking for training. Double Eagle is a great for learning often calm mornings. He does videos of training so the student can review daily progress. Jim is a 5 star instructor and one of the best in the business for ultralight trike training.
