The spousal unit and I are thinking about bailing from the incessant hellish heat and spend a week or so in a cabin in the NM high country. It's within about a 9-10 hour drive to us, and the thought of highs in the 70s and low 80s dropping into the 40s and 50s overnight seems like paradise to us at the moment. It's basically the closest place we can find (and within a day's drive) to find serious relief from the heat.

Has any of you spent much time out that way -- I'm probably assuming somewhere high in the Sangre de Cristo or something like that? Anything highly recommended or to avoid?

We're probably looking at the first week of August, for what it's worth.
