I'll second the recommendation for Blue Sky. Mike did a good job for us
in 2005. He thinks of the little things.
I will say that I prefer going through Denver/Colorado Springs. I just
prefer the activities there over those around Albuquerque. Pikes Peak,
Garden of the Gods, and the Flying W are all great and close (if you
stay in Colorado Springs) so you do not spend a lot of time in the bus.
When we went through Albuquerque we did enjoy Bandelier.

Excellent way to go. We always do that, although we fly in. We have
used Blue Sky Adventures, twice, and could not be happier. This year
we did Albuquerque, Sandia, Bandlier, Rafting, Biking in Taos, etc.
Their web site has several different trip options. Mike, the owner is
a scouter and knows scouts and the boys, and so do the people who work
for him. I'd look at his web site and ask for a quote.
