Located 33 miles west of Santa Fe and 90 miles north of Albuquerque, the once "Secret City" of Los Alamos still has about it a shroud of mystery. The city has only two entrances, although you no longer need to show a pass to get in. One of the entrances, the Jemez Mountain Trail National Scenic Byway, offers access to many of the area's scenic and cultrual highlights. Los Alamos began as a boys' ranch but became home of the Manhattan Project and the Los Alamos National Laboratory during the 1940s. Your first stop might be the two buildings in the historic town center that preserve the history of those early days: the Fuller Lodge and Bradbury Science Museum.
