    What are you planning to do there? ToC is very much in the middle of nowhere population wise. And don’t forget to factor in car rental costs, you’d need a car there to do anything

      everyone i know in desert towns enjoys a slower life, so i think they’ll be happy with the hot springs, national parks, massages, restaurants, museums, geode hunting, crystal shops and all that.

      a lot of desert people have electric scooters and bikes now for town travel, and there are car rentals and cheap used cars available in ToC if you’re planning more long-term.

          all the places mentioned above are inside or within a couple miles of downtown TorC.

          TorC is not Manhattan, but there are massages, museums, restaurants, weed shops, hot springs, everything mentioned above is in or nearby the town.

          spas:

          restaurants:

          the main lake is a 7-30 minutes bicycle ride away depending on your hotel.

          TorC is not a singlular, required destination, just an example of how traveling can provide many options, one of which is a highly-rated $750 private apartment in New Mexico.
