Part of El Vado Hotel's outdoor courtyard, this taproom is surrounded by Albuquerque's up-and-coming food scene purveyors. The courtyard is ample, modern, and comfortable. The Costa Rican food shop was a recent favorite. Another plus is that this is across the streen from the ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden.

Tingley Beach commemorates one of Albuquerque's mayors from the late 1930s and '40s that initiated the building of public parks during the Great Depression. Tingley Beach was one accomplishment that was brought back to life and integrated into the ABQ BioPark and Zoo. This is a great place for a sunset stroll along the Rio Grande.

The Petroglyphs are a visual reminder of the deep history of the Middle Rio Grande Valley. It seems that people have always wanted to leave their mark, in this case, on volcanic boulders born from the same rift that created the Rio Grande.
