That is such a tough call. I'd say the primary difference between
Albuquerque and Colo. Sprgs is that the options out of Albuquerque tend just
a bit more towards sightseeing while Colo. Sprgs tends just a little more
toward active adventure, but the difference is so slight.

Personally, if I were going to PTC by myself or with my family, it would be
Albuquerque. With a crew, Colo. Sprgs, cause the guys want to do more than
see. But, there is lots to do in Albuqueque, and lots to just see in Colo.
Sprgs, so it really depends what see and do type things appeal.

Of course, we're taking the train, so we won't be doing either :-(
