My family that lives there would agree with your comments about education. In many ways, New Mexico is a confusing mix of great wealth and the third world (when it comes to services, mindset, etc).

For Restaurants Maria's, El Farol and Pasquals are consistent.

As for the Pecos River--there is good fishing there and the river goes from wide to narrow. The Panchuela is a good spot to hike but there are great hikes through the area.

As an aside, witness the laziest attempt at salesmanship you'll ever see when you go to the plaza and see the people selling their wares....they use a stick to push something you might interested in instead of getting up.

We went to Santa Fe and Taos recently. I would recommend spending more time in Santa Fe, although if you plan to visit Rio Grande del Norte or Wheeler Peak then you might want a couple of days in Taos. You can see the Rio Grande del Norte on the drive in, and it was really cool to drive up through (we didn’t wind up hiking any trails though as we got a late start).

In Santa Fe, Meow Wolf was really cool and lived up to the hype. Lots of good food, La Choza was my favorite. Really enjoyed the brewery in the rail yard, they had a nice sour brown ale on tap. Didn’t really venture out to Canyon Rd like we’d planned to, there are a lot of art galleries out there. It was kind of eerie how early the plaza area shuts down, I think we went to a bar around 11pm and there was pretty much no one around. We stayed at the Old Santa Fe Inn, which I recommend.
