There's not much town to get around in, but the motels along California Avenue do sprawl somewhat and the stores there are some distance from Tech. A bicycle is handy for Tech students, although other visitors are unlikely to need transportation other than what got them to town. Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge see below is 15 miles away along a road that is pleasant for cycling although somewhat narrow -- be on the alert for recklessly driven vehicles; most other outlying attractions are far enough away to be best reached by car.
