Guys,
I just found out I am going to be headed to Raton, NM for a couple days October 21-23, dates variable. This is a fully funded business trip where the business should take only an hour and a half of one day. It looks like I either need to fly into Pueblo, Colorado or Santa Fe, New Mexico. Get a rental and drive to Raton. Which is the better drive? Tell me how I can make a fun trip out of this business trip? (Happily married, so no Hookers and blow) lol I know that the Whittington Center is 10 miles south of Raton. I am a Life Member of NRA. But, I don't want to transport firearms by air so is there really anything to do at Whittington Center if not taking an M1A to try at 1000 yards? What else is there to do? Where should I stay? Any great hotels or must see sights in the area? I know that Taos, NM has spa resorts and stuff like that. I don't see any events the week i am to be there.
What about flying into Pueblo and enjoying scenic drive down and back from Raton? Just looking for suggestions as to how to make great time out of short business trip. Places that might rent a Jeep Wrangler and let me enjoy a scenic drive rather than a Chrysler and a boring highway commute. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I would fly into Pueblo honestly and drive to Raton
Less traffic.
the NRA range is about all I am aware of for fun
If you have a few hours, just drive to Colorado Springs for the day
Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, lots of things to do there
