DISH Cable Company for Your Home in Aztec, NM

The town of Aztec, New Mexico, brands itself as "Your Four Corners Playground Since 1100 AD," but it's playground enough without those nearby slivers of Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. Aztec earns that description not only for its museums, monuments, and recreational grounds right in city limits, but also for its impressively eclectic community events.

Aztec offers five major historical and recreational sites: (1) the Aztec Ruins National Monument, a world heritage site celebrating the Pueblo dwellers that lived there thousands of years ago, (2) Pioneer Village and Museum, which showcases Western Americana from the area in the 1800s, (3) the lower San Juan River, which made the Wide Open Spaces list of top 18 fly fishing destinations in the country, (4) extensive mountain biking trails including the famed Alien Run, and (5) the Aztec Motor Speedway. As for the annual events in Aztec, they celebrate a notable variety of interests, hobbies, and cultures: there are truck shows and gun and knife shows, the American Indian Cultural Arts Festival and the Highland Games and Celtic Music Festival, the Harvest Wine Festival and the Green Chili Festival, the Christmas celebrations and the Winter Solstice Observation, and last but not least, the Steamers and Dreamers steampunk convention and junior high and high school rodeos.

When there's not a festival going on, residents and tourists in Aztec tend to spend an average weeknight or weekend picking up some produce or toiletries from Safeway or Kare Drug, looking after their cars at Big O or the Chevy dealership, or dining at Blake's Lotaburger or Beer Bellys or Wonderful House—or, if they're lucky, staying in for a relaxing night of home-cooked food and sports, dramas, or blockbusters on demand from DISH TV.
