It's rare for a scenic turnout/rest area along an Interstate to be worth mentioning in a "See" entry, but two exceptions are nearby. A viewpoint between Albuquerque and Grants gives a striking view of the "Sky City" at Acoma Pueblo. Further west, another scenic turnout offers views into one of the continental United States' most recent volcanic basalt flows, erupted from a vent a few miles south of the highway some time in the last 2000 years (estimates for the age vary).
Grants is a good base for visiting the western pueblos of New Mexico. Acoma, Laguna, and Zuni are all nearby, and offer much to the visitor interested in the Pueblo Nations. Acoma recently opened a fabulous new cultural center at the base of Sky City; visitors seeking to tour the pueblo must check in here for their tour. Feast days, pow-wows, and various events throughout the year keep things interesting at all three pueblos.
Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, HC 61 Box 28, Ramah, NM 87321 (Take 1-40 to Grants from Albuquerque going west, get off on Exit 81, past El Morro, turn left on BIA 125 then head up BIA 120.), ☎ 505-775-3804. A non-profit shelter for wolves and wolf dogs, Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary is located to the northwest of Grants along Highway 53. Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary is a place that's not only designed to provide shelter and refuge for wolves and wolf dogs, but seeks to educate the public at large about the true nature of wolves. Beautifully set in an area known as Candy Kitchen, Wild Spirit has guided tours from 11:00 AM, 12:30 AM, 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM and takes you along specially built enclosures that house the animals. A guide is there to explain about the sanctuary and facts about the wolves. �
