I love this library because it reminds me of the Carnegie Library in Gloversville, New York where I grew up. There is reading room with books with western and New Mexico themes. This is a very special place. If I go to Las Vegas, it is usually on weekends. So, I wish they would expand their weekend hours.

The plaza itself is lovely and shaded - great place to relax and look at the historic buildings which surround the plaza. The plaza is surrounded by shops, restaurants, and art galleries. There is one quilting store and a couple of nice antique stores.

We've been to Wildlife Refuge before but on this trip the Ranger at the visitor center told us of the Galinas Nature Trail. It's just a short drive within the park and is an approximately 2 mile trail that is spectacular! Many thanks to Ranger Anna for the suggestion of the hike. It's so cool. You start out in the grasslands, pass some ranching ruins/structure, come upon a little canyon - so beautiful! The hike then takes you down and across the canyon and loops back to the grasslands back to your car. The trail is a little steep in some areas, but so worth the trip!
