Albuquerque is the largest city in “The Land of Enchantment”. We are home to Sandia Labs, The Isotopes Baseball team, The University of New Mexico, Kirkland Air Force Base, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute and Petroglyph National Monument. The Sandia Mountains run along the eastern side of Albuquerque and the Rio Grande flows through the city, north to south. Albuquerque’s climate is usually sunny and dry, with low relative humidity. Brilliant sunshine defines the region, averaging more than 300 days a year; periods of variably mid and high-level cloudiness temper the sun at other times. Extended cloudiness is rare. The city has four distinct seasons, but the heat and cold are mild compared to the extremes that occur in other parts of the country
