(And Albuquerque is NOT in the desert, BTW.  It's in the mountains, and the edge of forest.)

 

ABQ isn't in the mountains, it's part of a high basin.  The mountains...and most of the forests...are to the east.  Santa Fe is in the mountains/forest. WIkipedia's article says this:

 

Quote

Albuquerque is located at the crossroads of several ecoregions, depending on the system applied. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,[48] the city is located in the southeastern edge of the Arizona/New Mexico Plateau, with the Arizona/New Mexico Mountains ecoregion defining the adjacent Sandia-Manzano mountains, including the foothills in the eastern edges of the city proper east of about Juan Tabo Boulevard. Though the city lies at the northern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert transitioning into the Colorado Plateau, much of Albuquerque area west of the Sandia Mountains shares a similar aridity, temperature regime, and natural vegetation more with that of the Chihuahuan Desert, namely the desert grassland and sand scrub plant communities.
