If the return to Phoenix is to return a rental car, you could take the Amtrak Southwest Chief from Flagstaff to Albuquerque for only $60/pp. It leaves Flagstaff about 4:40AM and arrives in ABQ about noon.
Personally, I think you could do a home base in ABQ and then either take the train up and back to Santa Fe. [You won't save any time taking the train though it would save you from having to drive although the drive to Santa Fe is easy shot up I25 if you were looking to make it fast.] Then you could do a driving day trip to Taos.
OR you could also stay a bit in between both ABQ if that worked -- Bernalillo has a nice Holiday Inn Express [which can be gotten on hotwire] as well as a really nice Hyatt Resort and would put you within easy reach of all directions.
orlando hotel reservation 3. You need two days in Santa Fe, a day up to Taos and back (river road up, high road back), orlando hotel reservation and a day to go to Los Alamos and Bandelier, with side trips to San Ildefonso and Santa Clara. This is minimum.
FWIW - April *can* be nice weather, but it is traditionally our worst weather of the year. Windy, dust blowing is often the forecast. Just have alternate plans for indoor activities in case the day is not pleasant.
Do head over to Bandelier, about an hour west of Santa Fe. There is a small part of the park called Tsankawi that is about 5 miles closer to SF that is less developed, but you can hike up into the grooves that were eroded into the soft rock through years of use. The park is interesting itself too.
Parts of Bandelier were closed last year due to the fire damage. Don't know if that is still the case. Even so, we found it worthwhile even with the closings. Park Rangers do free tours that enhance the visit. The drive to the park is pretty, but it is can be a bit nerve racking (steep/drop orlando hotel reservation offs next to the road).
Just curious, htty, as to what you do in and around Taos. We go to Taos mainly to visit friends who live there and really don't find all that much to see or do there beside the bridge and the pueblo. Maybe because we live here, we are just blind to things to see and do.
PS One memorable experience was some years ago before orlando hotel reservation the Fechin House was the home of the Taos Art Museum. At that time, Nicolai Fechin's daughter would, for a small fee, sometimes open the home to visitors. We were in town on one of those days. She kept herself in the background, but I spotted her and had a brief chat with her. She spoke to me about her love for her father. It was a good experience.
Day 2 Taos and back by the low route and the high road, making a loop. The "Strip" south of town is horrible, but there is an interesting adobe church in the midst of it. If you come back by the High Road, stop in Chimayo for the shrine. As in Europe, don't leave anything valuable visible in your car.
Day 3 Bandelier, Los Alamos, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, orlando hotel reservation and, for something completely different, Espanola. This would be four different cultures in one day: Anasazi, Nerd, Tiwa, and Low Rider. There isn't really any place to eat at Bandelier or San Ildefonso, I think I remember a kind of store/gas station/cafe outside Santa Clara, and there are lots of places to eat in Espanola, many of them dives. Ditto for Los Alamos, but not dives.
