Mounument Valley is great. Take the bus tour in the late afternoon so you
get good reds and oranges on the rock formations. Hope for clouds.
Take
lots of pictures.

Don't miss the Bradbury and the Historic museums in Los Alamos. The
Historic Museum makes no mention of Oppenheimer. That's like Field Marshal
Mongomery ignoring Patton in his "History of Warfare".

We flew to Alburquerque. If you go there see the Old Town and also, if
you're into science and war history, go to the Atomic Museum.
