Your itinerary is very helpful. Next time you stay in Gallup, NM, try the El Rancho, it's on the National Register of Historic Places. Quirky and one-of-a-kind.
The El Rancho was in fact, my first choice of lodging in Gallup.
Unfortunately, I didn't receive any response for my reservation. So, this is why I've chosen the Super 8 as alternate choice.
Anyway, I don't feel any biterness about the El Rancho. The proof is that the hotel is the subject of one of my previous post on this blog.
That was an incredible trip!
I would like to make the same voyage.
If it's not asking too much can you please tell me, approximately, how much did you spend on your trip?
