Parking at UNM is going to be difficult.  There are two options.  The first option is to park in Garage Y (SW corner of Yale and Lomas).  It is located in section 13/L on the map http://iss.unm.edu/PCD/SM/doc/VisitorMapNorth_Numeric.pdf.  It costs $1.75 an hour.  Second option is to go to Parking Services (not indicated on the map but located at the NW corner of University and Central) and buy a day pass for $8.  This pass will enable you to park anywhere on campus.  Lot M, located in section 10/M on the map, would then be your best bet.  You will see that the lot is large and extends to 10/L.  It fills up quickly and is often full especially in the afternoon.
