You have to stop in Gallup to buy some Indian jewelery. Best deals ever! Beware plastic stones that look real. Ask for certificate of authenticity, which seller should provide. Good place to stop for lunch, too, if you eat meat. As vegetarians, we had a hard time. Even the Navaho Tacos had ground beef in the little place we tried. Sorry, we couldn't eat them. There are many modern places to stay overnight, too, chain motels & older independent, unique ones, too. Next time I go, I want to stay longer. Day trip possibilities abound! See the web site for many, very awesome, suggestions! ! And let me know what you did, so I can experience it vicariously, please. I will now reveal a dream I've had for many years --- to move to New Mexico! It may happen, yet! Leave a Comment Directions: Gallup is very small. You won't have any problem finding the stores.

 | |  |  | Annual Inter-Tribal in August is Huge! | |  |  | |  |
Ceremonial Indian dances, marketplaces, juried art show, a professional Indian rodeo, parades in downtown Gallup, local foods, and Indian crafts demonstrated make this yearly event very popular. This is a 5 day event, bringing in thousands of people, from all over. Special prices for jewelry, in town, start just before the event & continue through it, I discovered. First Inter-tribal was in 1921, so there's organized tradition here & that makes for a great time for Indians & non-Indians. Much of it goes on at Red Rock State Park ( see state park tip). Very exciting & beautiful event in so many ways! Leave a Comment Address: Gallup, N. M.Directions: The web site has all kinds of information to make your visit perfect.Website: www.gallupnm.org

Second only to the Albuquerque Balloon Festival, this is a big event in Gallup. You are likely to get a free ride if you volunteer to crew for one of the balloons. The website will give you info on who to call and where to go to volunteer to crew. Leave a Comment Website: http://www.redrockballoonrally.com/
