🌄 New Mexico | Half-Day Itinerary in Albuquerque

As a long-time fan of Breaking Bad, I can’t believe it took me this long to make the pilgrimage—but better late than never, right? 😅 Due to a tight schedule, I only had half a day in Albuquerque, so I made every moment count! Here’s my timeline for anyone looking for a quick and fun tour: 🎈 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride with Rainbow Ryders – An absolutely magical way to start the day! 🎈🌅 🎈 Sandia Peak Tramway – Took the longest aerial tram in the U.S. right after the balloon ride. Had a light breakfast at Ten3, the scenic restaurant at the top. 🏔️☕ 📌 Pro tip: Go early! When we came down, the line was crazy long! 🎈 Pinkman’s Pickup Location (John B. Robert Dam) – In the New Mexico sunlight, the dam almost looks surreal—like something out of a 2D painting. 🌞📸 🎈 The Car Wash where Walt worked – Yes, it’s a real car wash! 🧼🚗 🎈 Walter White’s House – It’s a private residence with security (probably to stop fans from throwing pizzas on the roof 🍕😂), so we just drove by slowly. 🎈 Rattlesnake Museum – The owner has all kinds of funny signs everywhere. One even says he should charge visitors who exaggerate their “snake encounters”! 🐍😆 🎈 Breaking Bad Store – Just a 3-minute walk from the snake museum! Loaded with merch and fan goodies. 🧢⚗️ I didn’t get to see every iconic spot, but that just means I’ll have to come back someday. Albuquerque, until next time! 💙 #BreakingBad #Albuquerque #NewMexico #TravelGuide #HalfDayItinerary #HotAirBalloon #SandiaPeak #RoadTrip #USATravel
