NM is a good place to come to. There is a good amount of hiking and such in close proximity to ABQ and SF. Riding the tram up to Sandia Crest is also worth the time in my opinion. Or, come during the balloon fiesta which is probably the main big even that NM hosts every year. Otherwise there's a bunch of historical/cultural stuff around that I'm no expert on.
You'll be better off going to Tucson if you want to hunt Gila's...
