FYI - The Rail Runner "Seniors ride for free - Wednesdays" has been extended through 2020.
Seniors Ride Free Extended Through 2020
Rio Metro is extending our Seniors Ride Free program through 2020! Seniors age 62+ can continue to ride any New Mexico Rail Runner Express train at no cost every Wednesday through the entire year. This is a great opportunity for residents and visitors alike to explore New Mexico’s outstanding local restaurants, museums, and shops, as well as the great outdoors. Enjoy the ride!
A great opportunity to ride up to Santa Fe or down to Belen to eat and shop all year long.
Celebrate the season all month long in Belen! The Belen Harvey House Museum is home to a display of holiday lights and beautifully decorated trees every Friday to Sunday from 5-8 p.m. though December 22.
The Bugg Lights Museum located 5 blocks west at 513 Becker Ave. features trees, whimsical decorations and festive displays. The Bugg Lights Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from Noon to 5 p.m., and is offering extended evening hours for the holiday season.
Then there is Pete's Cafe located one block behind the Harvey House Museum. Great Mexican food.
Hiking Santa Fe by Rail
Last month a group of 6 seniors took the Rail Runner from Albuquerque to Santa Fe for a hike along the Santa Fe River Trail. The hike, which was led by Cathy Intemann, a volunteer with the City of Albuquerque Senior Centers’ Hiking Group, departed from the Santa Fe Depot Station. “It’s really easy to get on the train, do the hike, then get back on the train and head home. It’s a nice way to spend the day outside and explore Santa Fe in a different way,” says Intemann.
