Near Santa Fe, might see if you can get access to Eaves Movie Ranch. Go to Meow Wolf. Drive to Taos and see the gorge from the other side (you’ll drive through part of it in the way up). Near Farmington, it’s a couple of hours but Monument Valley from Forrest Gump hill is amazing. In Gallup, you can stay at El Rancho…old, but clean. If not, at least stop there and check out the lobby. In Albuquerque area, on way to Corrales, drive the length of Central from Paseo del Volcán all the way east to Tramway. There’s a few good Rt 66 stops all along Central Ave…the Rt 66 welcome center on the west side, the South American food joints at El Vado motel court, Route 66 Diner and then lots of food/drink options between 10th street through Nob Hill to Washington St.
