Albuquerque, NM

Book Now

Sometimes you just gotta get out. This is where both Walt and Jesse wait for Saul's "Extractor." While Jesse loses his nerve and stays, Walt takes the ride and flees to New Hampshire only to return. The dam doesn't actually hold back a reservoir but was designed to catch floodwaters. The cinematic quality of the structure is immediately apparent, with the unique concrete structure that looks a little like huge tombstones framed by the Sandia Mountains in the background. This location is a great place to take photos. You could even recreate a scene from the show, where Jesse is waiting for the vacuum repairman, aka "The Extractor." Saul gives Jesse the location of the dam as Juan Tabo Boulevard and Osuna Road, which are the actual cross streets. The street address is Osuna Rd. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87111.
