This table is not complete, but close! It's arranged alphabetically by town. "Vector" is direction and distance from Albuquerque; for example: NNE 179 means 179 miles North-Northeast. E and W are Route 40; NE and S are Route 25; other directions can have more complicated routes. Click on the Vector heading to sort the table that way, which groups nearby sites together. Example: If we want to head Northeast, click the Vector heading, then scroll down to "NE" (Sandía Crest, Santa Fe, Tesuque, Pecos, Los Alamos, Las Vegas... as far as we want to go).
