5. Turquoise Trail (Hwy 14)

Where: New Mexico, 45 miles between Albuquerque and Santa Fe

The Turquoise Trail is one of the most historical and beautiful driving landscapes in the USA. With history as a trading route dating to 2000 B.C. or earlier, the road is an extremely scenic drive located between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. In addition to the gorgeous desert scenery located along the roadway, there are a number of sights available for the driver to check out along the way. One of the favorites of visitors to the area is the animated, miniature village, Tinkertown which has been open since 1983. The Tinkertown Museum is only open during the warmer months (April through October), so travelers are advised to confirm hours when making this stop along the Turquoise Trail.
