Cardinal Point Drive North to Los Alamos

Join the BMW Car Club of America New Mexico Chapter for a scenic drive to Los Alamos on Saturday, July 12, 2025. After meeting with the Los Alamos Auto Club Cars and Coffee, we will check out the history of Los Alamos with a tour of the Los Alamos History Museum and surrounding campus. This includes the Fuller Lodge, a walk down Bathtub Row to see the Oppenheimer House, the Hans Bethe House, a local homesteader’s cabin, and the nearby Ancestral Pueblo Site.

Meet at the Nambe Falls Travel Center in Pojoaque at 9:00 am for a 9:30 departure. For those coming from the South, the easiest access is to take US Hwy 285 North to the Cuyamungue Exit (Exit 176) and stay on the service road. The travel center is next to the Tesla dealership. From there we’ll enjoy a scenic drive to Los Alamos. After talking cars and touring the museum, lunch will be at the Pajarito Brewpub and Grill. After lunch, a short drive out of Los Alamos will take us to NM Hwy 4, where drivers have 2 options. Those wanting to get back to Albuquerque can take Hwy 4 to the Valles Caldera and Jemez Springs and those wanting to go to Santa Fe can take Hwy 4 to White Rock and back to Pojoaque.
