Airport & Shuttle Information

The nearest international airport to us is Albuquerque. ABQ is the airport code. It is 2 hours south of River Spirit.

Sometimes European visitors get better rates flying to either Phoenix , Arizona (PHX) or Denver, Colorado (DEN). Flying to either of these places will involve an extra 8-9 hours travel, either by bus or car. Still it is a nice way to get to see the Southwest and explore some of the scenery and . You could also try flying from Phoenix or Tucson to Albuquerque with Southwest airlines: http://www.southwest.com/, even if you just book the international flight to the larger airport.

Very occasionally, there are also flights into Santa Fe airport, which is a very small airport, usually
from Denver.

Shuttle & Rail Services

If you fly to Albuquerque, there are shuttle services to Santa Fe and Taos and in December 2008, a rail service begins to Santa Fe. The City of Albuquerque website gives a good over view of all the options for the city. http://www.cabq.gov/airport/ground-transportation

Here are direct links to some of the services:

Shuttles

Our physical address is 1858, HWY 68, one mile north of Embudo Station. Some of the shuttle services will be willing to drop you at the house. Others may prefer to drop you either at Embudo Post office or near Dr. Padberg's office, up the highway from us. If that is so, find out your expected arrival time and let us know before you travel. Cell Phone/mobile/handy reception in the valley is erratic and rare, so most likely, you will be unable to contact us once you are dropped off.
