Albuquerque is right next to Rio Rancho and offers even more opportunity to experience cultural events and activities, good food and abundance of natural beauty. Right next to the Sandia Mountains, Albuquerque is a wonderful place to hike and explore the stunning high desert scenery.

Take a ride up the mountain with Sandia Peak Tramway and take in the spectacular views! You can do some light hiking up top or just watch a beautiful sunset. There is also the TEN3 restaurant when you get to the top with stunning views where you can make lunch or dinner plans.

Discover Albuquerque’s Old Town, a true treasure seniors will enjoy. You will find shops, shows, art galleries, fine dining and adobe structures in a historic cultural center. San Felipe de Neri church dates back to the Spanish colonial era. There are also museums you’ll want to explore.

Old Route 66 runs through Albuquerque. Along this stretch, explore the KiMo Theatre. This gem has so much history and cultural significance! You can enjoy learning about the history of the theater’s Pueblo Deco architecture and attend cultural events or enjoy a show here!
