Pilar is at 6000 plus feet and will be cold at night. Same with Cochiti at 5300ft.
Pilar and Cochiti are a good ways from anything. Cochiti does have a good fuel/quick shop near the lake and at the freeway but nothing else is close by.
No dogs allowed at Tent Rocks if you have one. BTW: if you go hiking even in winter, bring plenty of water per person.
I think you will be better off, weather wise, to stay south of I-40 and best to stay south of US 60. There are plenty of attractions down south in NM and the weather is a lot warmer. We generally do not get a hard freeze at night until Jan.
I am not trying to say you will not enjoy your planned trip but I live here and I would not go to Pilar or Cochiti in Nov.
PS I have been to both in the warmer weather.
