What are the recommended climbing destinations in New Mexico with friendly weather during December?

I'm hoping to find something close-ish to Santa Fe (or Albuquerque). Moderate Sport and trad are both great. I'm also hoping to find a spot with a relatively simple approach.

Suggestions?

Diablo Canyon and the areas around White Rock. Went to the overlook at White Rock today and the weather was great. Diablo tomorrow. Just check the weather report since anything can happen around here in Dec.

Tres Piedras is a great crag. Moderate trad, bouldering, and some bolted lines. Beautiful 200 foot + granite formation rising out of the desert.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
