Los Alamos was a secret city during World War II, the site where the Manhattan Project designed the first atomic bombs, and it remains defined by science. Los Alamos National Laboratory, one of the largest science and engineering institutions in the world, dominates the local economy, and the town spread across the finger-like mesas of the Pajarito Plateau has one of the most highly educated populations in the country. Scientists, contractors, government officials and visiting researchers travel here constantly, and Manhattan Project National Historical Park preserves the wartime history.
The drive from Albuquerque takes about an hour and forty-five minutes, and from Santa Fe it is a winding 45 minutes up onto the mesas. Los Alamos County Airport sits on the edge of town, minutes from the laboratory and downtown, and Santa Fe’s airport offers another option nearby. Flying private makes it practical to visit the lab and return home the same day. The setting rewards visitors too: Bandelier National Monument’s cliff dwellings, the grasslands and elk of Valles Caldera, mountain biking and hiking on the plateau and skiing at Pajarito Mountain.

Things to do in Los Alamos
When to go. Los Alamos sits at about 7,300 feet, so summers are pleasant, with highs mostly in the 70s and 80s and afternoon monsoon storms in July and August. September and October bring golden aspens in the Jemez Mountains and bugling elk in the Valles Caldera, a favorite time to visit. Winter brings snow, cold nights and skiing at Pajarito Mountain, while spring tends to be windy and dry.
