The nearest major airport is in Albuquerque just beyond the southwest corner of the region. Interstate highway 40 forms the southern boundary of the region, and I-25 runs through it north to south, so highway access is generally not a problem. The primary Amtrak line across the Southwest, the Southwest Chief (http://www.amtrak.com/ser...), follows I-25 through this region, but stations are few and far between, with just one stop in Las Vegas and another in Raton.
