Taos or Santa Fe, New Mexico

Hi folks, looking for some advice on which area to visit for a few nights. We'd be departing the Farmington, NM area (want to see the Bisti Badlands) and basically having a hard time deciding on which area to pick.

We simply like scenery, brief hikes (like 4 or 5 miles tops), & peace & quiet by a campfire (if no burn bans of course) in early May 2022. I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind shopping at some botiques.

    Bring your appetite. The food is amazing, no matter where you go in New Mexico.

    The last time we were in Taos, we stayed at Taos Valley RV Park. Good location close to town. Sites adequate for our 43' MH and toad.

    We go to Santa Fe and sometimes Taos every year for the past 8 years on our trip to Durango. Santa Fe Skies is our pick in Santa Fe. You might consider a day trip to Los Alamos to tour the mesa top city and its great museum. Also walking tours around downtown Santa Fe are really interesting. The mural in the City Gov't building is incredible and the walking tours take you there! Great food every where.
