Perseid Meteor Shower

  

As earth moves through the dust and debris trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle between August 10-12 the summer night sky’s most spectacular show is the Perseid meteor shower. Magdalena is one of the ‘blackest’ places in the USA, with minimal light pollution, and cloud-free skies, affording a spectacular view of this phenomenon.

Isleta Pueblo San Augustine Feast Day. September 4th, 2018. 

Native American feast days allow tribal members to come together in celebration of their language, culture and religion. The communities celebrating feast days are open to the public, and members of the tribe will prepare a variety of bountiful meals to share with guests.


Visitors are often fascinated to see that pueblo life is a window into another world. Not relegated to history books or museums, this is a living culture that carries on the centuries-old traditions of ancestors. Information: 505-869-3111


Laguna Pueblo: Saint Joseph's Annual Feast Day. September 7th, 2018.

Ride the Rails: Belen to Santa Fe

  

Magdalena to Belen by I-25 is 1 hr 15 min. Then park and ride the Rail Runner Express. This unusual 96-mile- long railroad runs between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM. The trains are sleek looking silver diesel engines with comfortable double-decker cars and a bright red roadrunner (New Mexico’s state bird) painted on the side, 

much like the roadrunner in the old Looney Tune cartoons.


If you pre-buy a Rail Runner Express ticket online (only $9 for adults, $4.50 for seniors), there is a free shuttle from the Sunport Airport that will take you directly to the railroad station in downtown Albuquerque. Here you can hop the train, and in 90 minutes (traveling at speeds up to 79 miles an hour) be within walking distance of most of Santa Fe’s beautiful sights.


The Santa Fe Pickup, a free shuttle bus with a bright red pickup truck painted on the side, meets every train and stops at major attractions in town, from the galleries on Canyon Road to Museum Hill, with buses coming every 15 minutes or so.
