Tempe vs. Albuquerque

[Aztech]

Gotta choose a place to take some training for work for a few days. I've never been to either of these 2 cities. Anybody has and wanna say which to choose and why? Or, if you've been to just one or the other, please recommend any things to do, places to see, places to eat.

Thanks!

At least Albuquerque has that Sandia tram. What's in Tempe?

There is some sort of remedial education facility there. Sort of a college-for-the-less-gifted I guess.

The Univeristy of New Mexico is located in Albuquerque and you'll find those here to.
I'd chose Tempe though beause it's pretty cold here in NM this time of year.

There's a shitload more to do in the surrounding areas from Tempe than there are in Albuquerque. Dining, clubs, sporting events, ect. Scottsdale is a short run from Tempe and good for at least one night of bar hopping.

Thanks for responses. It's gonna be late February, early March time frame.

Albuquerque has the tramway, a nice museum to check out, shopping on the weekend, and chiles on everything. Not much else there. Don't know Tempe.

Tempe, no question.

Go hike Camelback Mt or for a bit less of a work out go climb Piestewa Peak.

ABQ has the Sandia Tram, and if you like to ski, there's a ski hill in Santa Fe which is an hour away or if you don't mind a longer drive (about 2 hours), you can go to the Taos Ski Valley. ABQ also has numerous places to go dancing: Lindy Hop, Argentine Tango, Blues, Swing, and others if you like to do that.

If you are a baseball fan you can catch some cactus league games in Mesa/Tempe/Scottsdale/Peoria/ect during that time.

There's a burrito place in Albuequerque that had the absolute best goddamn burritos I have ever had anywhere in my life. I don't remember the name, but it was a small building in an industrial area right next to a giant train yard. I'd go to Albuequerque just to eat one of those burritos again.
