In our travels, we've stumbled on some great places that weren't necessarily on our list to see. They have now made our list of can't miss in each city. We try to find a local establishment recommendation everywhere we go. some have been so great we decided to rank them.

Bowling in Santa Fe
The Alley
We're not huge bowlers, but we've stumbled on several cities where the bowling alley is the happening place to be. Our latest adventure took us to Santa Fe's The Alley. They have an executive chef and happy hour deals that can't be beat.

The Breaking Bad Store & Museum in Albuquerque
This place is truly a hidden gem buried on a side street off the square in Old
Town. We stumbled on this sign and had to go see what they had. Not only
do they cover all the merchandise bases for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul,
they have a full museum with every show prop you could imagine. If you're
lucky, you may even catch one of the cast signing things when they're in town.
We just missed the twins.

Bear Country USA
We stumbled onto this hidden gem on our way to Mt. Rushmore, just outside of Rapid City, SD. The park is a drive-through wildlife preserve (similar to Yellowstone in terms of animals crossing your path and getting close to your vehicle). All manner of mountain wildlife lives in this park from bears to wolves to elk, and big cats. It's $18 per person and fully worth the price. It allows you an up close and personal experience with animals you may never see except caged in a zoo. The bear cubs were out in their own habitat and were fun to watch. Gift shop, food and beverages and lots of things to see.
