If you need something and need it cheap, Wal-Mart's the way to go. And sometimes it's just good to get out of base camp. At Philmont, we have some options.
Distance wise, the Wal-Mart in Taos, New Mexico is closest. But getting there requires driving a long and windy mountain road, which adds more time than it should. Usually takes an hour and a half to get there.
North of Cimarron and Philmont is Raton, New Mexico. Raton has a K-Mart and is only 45 minutes away. But if you're patient and have a little extra gas money, you can keep north on I-25 and cross into Colorado.
Miles from the New Mexico/Colorado border is the City of Trinidad. Trinidad's home to the nearest Wal-Mart Supercenter. Yeah, that's right-- a Wal-Mart with groceries. Only an hour away, this Wal-Mart has grown to be my personal favorite. It's got the best prices, selection, and shortest travel time.
We just moved across town. We love the Wegmans on Peach and was expecting similar awesomeness on the Westside Wegmans. Unfortunately, it doesn't stack up. It's great that your closest Walmart is also the best. It's rare to have a upside without a downside.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree. It's a good thing that all the pros outweigh the cons. That's rare in the Cimarron, NM area.
