Getting acquainted with Santa Fe Adobe Style One of the Þrst things you notice upon arriving in Santa Fe is how low its buildings are, and how well these structures blend in with their high-desert surroundings. That distinguishing characteristic has been both organic (a response of the areaÕs original inhabitants to the necessities imposed on them by their natural environment and the building materials available to them) and conscious (in 1912, the city embraced the Pueblo Revival style). This architectural fashion relies wholeheartedly on adobe, a durable material used for centuries by the regionÕs Spanish and Native American denizens (particularly among the Puebloan cultures) to construct the areaÕs pueblos, and which is produced by combining sand, clay, water, and Þbrous organic matter like sticks or straw. Adobe buildings were traditionally made by shaping the mud-based substance into bricks, with supports provided by large logs, called vigas. One of the cityÕs oldest examples of this style is the Palace of the Governors. These days, the word adobe is commonly used to refer to Santa FeÕs dominant architectural style, which incorporates design elements of both Pueblo and Pueblo-inßuenced Spanish adobe constructions into buildings made with modern materials. This Òfaux-dobeÓ style includes Spanish Pueblo Revival architecture, championed by early-20th-century Santa Fe architects John Gaw Meem and Carlos Vierra. One of the Þrst (and best known) such buildings constructed in Santa Fe is the New Mexico Museum of Art. Territorial style buildingsÑsimilar to those of the Pueblo style, but with sharper lines, wood-trimmed windows, and brick coping along the rooßineÑare also popular in Santa Fe and northern New Mexico.

Climate and Geography

June 82/47°F 28/9°C

Situated at the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains (the southern end of the Rockies), Santa Fe has a mild climate with four distinct seasons and an annual rainfall of about 14 inches. Snow is typical in winter, with an annual average of 32 inches, although snowfall is erratic and most days are sunny. Spring and summer are also sunny, with typically warm and windy conditions leading into near-daily afternoon thunderstorms by mid-July. Lasting through early September, this stormy period is called Òmonsoon seasonÓ by locals. During fall, the aspen and cottonwood trees in the surrounding areas turn bright gold as the air cools down. But with an average of 300 days of sunshine each year, thereÕs no off-season for being outdoors in Santa Fe. Santa Fe is a high-altitude city, sitting at 7,000 feet above sea level (with nearby mountains reaching above 12,000 feet), so adapting to the thinner air can sometimes take a day or two. DonÕt be surprised if you Þnd yourself out of breath. Doctors recommend being relatively sedentary for the Þrst few days and drinking extra water to stay hydrated. Also be aware that the altitude may amplify the effects of alcohol, and due to our proximity to the sun, sunburn is a risk at any time of year.

Outdoors at Hand Nature is always nearby here in Santa Fe. In fact, the cityÕs longest park parallels portions of the 46-mile-long Santa Fe River, an intermittently ßowing tributary of the Rio Grande that runs across town through the River Canyon from east to west: along Upper Canyon Road, between

Alameda Street and Canyon Road through downtown, and then between Alameda and Agua Fria Street to the edge of the city. Reduced to a trickle after decades of neglect and insufÞcient ßowÑit has been dammed upstream of town, for drinking water, since 1881Ñthe river is now receiving attention through Mayor David CossÕs broad-reaching revitalization plan, begun in 2007. Besides extensive habitat restoration, this includes linking existing greenbelts to create an unbroken riverside path spanning the width of Santa Fe. Two popular riverside parks are Patrick Smith Park, on East Alameda, and Bicentennial Park, on West Alameda, both of which contain large Þelds, playground equipment, and picnic tables. Nature trails and preserves abound at the northern and eastern edges of town: On Upper Canyon Road, the Randall Davey Audubon Center and the Nature ConservancyÕs Santa Fe Canyon Preserve together comprise 325 acres rising through four eco-zones, ranging from brushy cottonwood and willow to Ponderosa pine forest. The walking trails are popular among birdwatchers, with some 140 species nesting on the land. Farther east, the Dale Ball trail system offers more challenging routes up into the Sangre de Cristo range, as does the trail to Atalaya Mountain. Easily accessible from the parking lot at St. JohnÕs College, the seven-mile-round-trip route leads hikers from a sandy arroyo to a rocky ridgetop with expansive views. Hyde Memorial State Park, about ten miles north of downtown toward the Santa Fe Ski Basin, affords more day-hiking opportunities with its extensive network of roadside trails, as well as campgrounds for both tent and RV camping. The cityÕs new Railyard Park & Plaza, which celebrated its grand opening in September 2008, is a showcase of environmentally friendly design. Located in the newly revitalized Railyard district and within walking distance of downtown, this park has become a lively, casual community meeting place, much like the original Plaza. While dogs must be leashed in most public spaces in Santa Fe, the Frank Ortiz Park Off-Leash Area is the exception. Referred to by locals as Òthe dog park,Ó it spans 134 acres off Camino de las Crucitas, in a residential neighborhood just west of downtown. With a large open area leading to a network of natural trails that wind into arroyos and along a hilltop ridge (providing some of the best vistas within city limits), the dog park is a peopleÕs playground as much as it is a free-roaming petsÕ paradise.

Shopping As the city continues to expand, new stores and businesses continue to open up as well. But Santa FeÕs primary shopping districts remain the historic downtown area and the congregation of big-box stores on the townÕs Southside, along and around Zafarano Drive. DowntownÕs many shops and boutiques are centered around the PlazaÑincluding two shopping arcades, the Arcade on the Plaza, and, one block west, the Plaza MercadoÑ and deal primarily in luxury items such as jewelry, Native crafts, and high-end clothing. Some of these stores, like the Five & Dime (formerly WoolworthÕs), on San Francisco Street, are long-standing institutions that were important meeting places in Santa FeÕs small-town days. Just southeast of downtown, Canyon Road is lined with more retail options. The street is renowned for its art galleries, but is also home to dealers of Þne leather goods, jewelry ranging from Southwestern to contemporary, and chic home furnishings. Also ßanking downtown, the DeVargas Center at its north end and the Guadalupe Street district to the south (including Sanbusco Market Center, on Montezuma) are great places to Þnd souvenirs and gifts, as well as more conventional boutique fare such as de18

santafe.org

signer apparel, Þne cookware, and home d cor. Guadalupe Street also abuts the burgeoning Railyard district, a hub for contemporary-art galleries and home to a new consumer complex anchored by outdoor-goods giant REI. Shopping south of downtown? YouÕll Þnd colorful shopping and arts districts with small, locally owned establishments in the Second Street district and along Baca Street near Cerrillos Road. Heading south on Cerrillos, Jackalope, a sort of world ßea market, offers an endless assortment of colorful Mexican imports. Zafarano Drive is home to stores like Target and Best Buy, with a SamÕs Club one block to the east, and the Santa Fe Place mall, anchored by Sears, JCPenney, and DillardÕs department store, just across Rodeo Road. The cityÕs other main retail areas lie along St. Francis Drive and St. MichaelÕs Drive. Two fabulous ßea markets offer surprisingly good buys and a quirky assortment of goods, from clothing to furniture and art. About six miles north of town on Highway 84/285, vendors at the Tesuque Pueblo Flea Market sell African imports, handmade apparel, and much more, in a charming and unpretentious setting. On the opposite end of the city, stop by The Flea, a small oasis of tents set up near the old Downs horse racing track, on the frontage road near Interstate 25 and state highway 85. The Flea moves indoors to El Museo Cultural, at the Railyard, in December and January.

Historic Landmarks Santa FeÕs epicenter has always beenÑand continues to beÑits downtown Plaza. This modest town square has served as its nexusÑculturally, politically, and sociallyÑfor four centuries. Now a casual, grassy park, it started as a central place around which Spanish ofÞcials built houses and barracks. The Palace of the Governors, constructed soon after the Plaza was established, still stands on the PlazaÕs north side, and is the oldest continuously occupied public building in the U.S. Built around the time of Santa FeÕs founding, the Palace served as a seat of the viceroyalty of New SpainÕs colonial government, then was home to Mexican and, even later, American territorial governors. Following Old Santa Fe Trail from the Plaza, Þnd the Barrio de Analco, a residential section of town, settled in 1620 along East DeVargas Street. The aptly dubbed Oldest House, built around 1612, is possibly the oldest structure in the nation, and it shares an alleyway with San Miguel Mission, billed as the countryÕs oldest church. Although this distinction is also uncertain, it is known that the mission was built sometime between 1600 and 1646, with parts of an abandoned PuebloÑdating back to 1100 and still existing on the site at the time of constructionÑ incorporated into the church structure. Both are just down the street from the New Mexico State Capitol, the Roundhouse. Completed in 1966 and named for its unique circular shape, the building was designed to resemble the stateÕs Zia symbol when viewed from the sky. The 131-year-old Loretto Chapel, east of the Plaza on Old Santa Fe Trail, is known for its Òmiraculous staircaseÓÑa spiral stairway built by a mysterious carpenter, with two 360-degree turns and no nails or screws (wooden pegs only) for support. Southwest of the Plaza on Guadalupe Street, the Santuario de Guadalupe was built in the late 18th century and recently became home to a 12-foot statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patron saint of New Mexico. And the stately Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, on Cathedral Place, was built between 1869 and 1887 under the direction of Santa FeÕs Þrst Roman Catholic bishop, Jean-Baptiste Lamy, of France. A mix of adobe, FrenchRomanesque, and modern architectural styles, the cathedral combines incredible stained glass from France with stone from Lamy, south of Santa Fe. It also honors the designation of Santa

A BRIEF HISTORY 10,000 B.C.: Nomadic Paleo-Indians begin to move into the region, making regular stops in the Santa Fe area. 400 A.D.: Agriculture is introduced, supplementing hunting and gathering. 1000–1400: Agriculture takes hold and several permanent pueblos are built. 1400–1600: Some 5,000 people live in pueblos within Santa Fe’s current city limits. 1540: Francisco Vasquez de Coronado leads a Spanish expedition across what is now New Mexico, in search of the fabled, gold-rich Seven Cities of Cíbola.

Fe as a diocese (in 1850) and then as an archdiocese (in 1875). In late 2008, its facade received a thorough scrubbing, and old stone and mortar were repaired. Covering a hill at downtownÕs north end, the National Cemetery memorializes more than 40,000 U.S. veterans. Thousands of small white gravestones stretch across 79 acres. To the east, closer to downtown, the Cross of the Martyrs looms over Santa Fe, honoring Franciscan priests who died during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, a rebellion of the Pueblo people against Spanish colonization of New Mexico. To reach the cross, climb a few dozen steps from an entrance on Paseo de Peralta, near Marcy Street. At sunset, the views of the city and Jemez mountains to the west are magical.

Events for One or Many Given the number of out-of-towners who descend on Santa Fe each year, and given their expectations (for romance, adventure, or just plain old R&R), it only makes sense that thereÕd arise an industry eager to satisfy visitorsÕ desires. So whether youÕre seeking a quiet walk or hosting a boisterous reunion, Santa Fe has expert help available. With sweeping sunsets and temperate weather, the many venues for events, celebrations, and weddings are ideal. Try BishopÕs Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa, the Eldorado Hotel, or Inn of the Five Graces, among other venues, for more intimate gatherings, or the Santa Fe Community Convention Center for much larger affairs. Sunrise Springs Resort offers the Moon House, an intimate locale for gatherings smaller than 100 guests, as well as larger venues. Or for a traditional approach to a wedding, Loretto Chapel has a breathtaking sanctuary with the option of music from an organist, harpist, or classical guitarist. To see the sights with a knowledgeable guide, take a walking tour through downtown with Historic Walks of Santa Fe. For variety, Destination 505 offers options like Native American cultural tours, providing entrance to places generally closed to visitors. And art lovers can take tours of the gallery-lined Canyon Road, as well as other culture-heavy areas, with Historic Walks of Santa Fe. For a full list of venues, tour guides, and all visitor services, visit santafe.org.

History in the Making Opened in 2009, and located just off the Santa Fe Plaza at 113 Lincoln Avenue, the New Mexico History Museum features 96,000 square feet of interactive exhibition space, including audio stations, short videos, photo albums, and interpretive stations. Here, visitors can chart their own paths through an exploration of thousands of years of New MexicoÕs rich and colorful past.

1598: Conquistador Don Juan de Oñate establishes the ﬁrst Spanish settlement in Northern New Mexico, at San Juan (Ohkay Owingeh) Pueblo, and becomes the ﬁrst colonial governor of New Spain’s province of Nuevo Mexico.

1609–1610: With the official name of La Villa Real de la Santa Fé de San Francisco de Asís, Santa Fe is established as the capital of Nuevo Mexico. Although this was previously credited to Nuevo Mexico’s third governor, Don Pedro de Peralta, new evidence points to its second governor, Juan Martinez de Montoya, as the city’s true founder. 1680: Ohkay Owingeh medicine man Popé leads the Pueblo Revolt, expelling the Spanish from Nuevo Mexico in the only successful indigenous rebellion in the history of North America. 1692: Don Diego de Vargas leads a bloodless reconquest of Nuevo Mexico. 1700–1750: Residents of Santa Fe erect adobe buildings with large portales opening onto the Plaza, and construct the first homes along Canyon Road. 1821: Mexico wins independence from Spain. In the same year, the Santa Fe Trail opens, stretching from the Missouri River to Santa Fe. 1824: Under Mexico’s new constitution, the former Spanish province becomes the Territory of Nuevo Mexico, with Santa Fe still its capital. 1846: The Mexican-American War begins; the U.S. claims possession of New Mexico. 1848: In the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico cedes to the U.S. nearly all of present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. 1869–1887: Bishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy oversees construction of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, commonly known as St. Francis Cathedral. 1878: The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad brings rail travel to New Mexico, but never actually arrives in Santa Fe, instead bypassing the town about 17 miles to the south, in Lamy. 1912: Congress admits New Mexico to the Union as its 47th state. 1943: Santa Fe’s secret field office is the gateway for scientists, such as world-famous physicists Richard Feynman and Niels Bohr, heading to an equally secret facility in nearby Los Alamos for the Manhattan Project, to build the first atomic bomb. 1957: Santa Fe passes the Historic Styles Ordinance, protecting the traditional appearance of its oldest neighborhoods. That same summer, conductor John Crosby founds the Santa Fe Opera. 1962: The city designates Canyon Road as a “Residential Arts & Crafts Zone.” 2009: The New Mexico History Museum, just off the Santa Fe Plaza, opens its doors to the public. 2010: Santa Fe celebrates its 400th anniversary. 2011

Day trips with history, culture, and natural beauty

A visit to Santa Fe isnÕt complete without at least one day trip to explore the fascinating cultures, gorgeous scenery, and outdoor activities that await nearby. The landscape of northern New Mexico is some of the most varied and beautiful in the nation. In the 1.6-million-acre playground of Santa Fe National Forest alone, elevations range from 5,300 to 13,103 feetÑwhich means dry, high desert can be just a 15-minute drive from thick forest. In winter, when snow covers the peaks in the Sangre de Cristos, skiers cut loose at Ski Santa Fe (about 30 minutes from downtown), the Taos Ski Valley (about two hours north of town), or Pajarito Mountain (in the Jemez, near Los Alamos). Whenever you visit the area, be sure to pack water and wear layers: Santa FeÕs climate is temperate, but weather can change suddenly, with tremendous and sometimes dangerous (if short-lived) thunderstorms rolling in during the summer months. For more in-depth information about the regionÕs sights and activities, visit northcentralnm.com.

Taos and the High Road For more than a century, Taos has been a super-magnet for artists and art lovers. World-class museums and galleries, historic tours, and excellent restaurants make the small town a popular day trip for visitors. Seventy miles north of Santa Fe, at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos is also a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of annual sunshine, excellent skiing, and mountain trails for hiking and biking. While there, be sure to stroll Taos Plaza. The historic center was established in the late 18th century and has since remained the heart of the community. Today, the Plaza boasts more than 40 galleries and boutiques, and several restaurants. The Ledoux Street gallery district, just behind the Plaza, is home to the Harwood Museum of Art. Operated by the University of New Mexico, it features permanent collections that include major works by decades of Taos artists. If you have time, explore the Millicent Rogers Museum, the Kit Carson Home and Museum, and the Taos Art Museum. The journey from Santa Fe to Taos can be an adventure in itself, with two possible routes, both about equal in distance. Locals call the most direct (yet still scenic) path, which follows the Rio Grande, the Low Road. But the snaking High Road to Taos is a stunning must-see. Heading north from Santa Fe, the High Road takes you along Þve different byways, passing through several small mountain villages, each rich in culture and history. The road goes east from Espa ola and winds through beautiful Northern New Mexico. Top stops include the legendary Santuario de Chimay church, where there is a posito, or well, from which visitors can take a handful of holy dirt believed to be blessed with miraculous qualities. Scenic C rdova is known for its wood-carving artists, and the old Spanish outpost of Truchas offers awesome views of the Rio Grande Valley. Tiny Las Trampas is home to San Jos 22

santafe.org

de Gracia, a mission church dating back to 1760, with impressive Spanish Mission design elements. A stop for northern New Mexican cuisine at GabrielÕs Restaurant (ten miles north of Santa Fe on US 285) makes the perfect ending for this day trip. GabrielÕs is known for its delicious guacamole, which waiters prepareÑusing the freshest avocados and the perfect spicesÑ right at your table.

Abiquiú and Ghost Ranch About 50 miles north of Santa Fe on Highway 84 lies the town of Abiqui (pronounced AB-ih-cue) and Abiquiu Lake. Seated within stark and stunning sandstone mesas and overlooking the Chama River, the village and its surroundings were made famous by 20th-century artist Georgia OÕKeeffeÕs paintings. For more than Þve decades, beginning in 1934, OÕKeeffe lived at least part of every year at Ghost RanchÑand spent much of that time at a second house in nearby Abiqui Ñliving alone in the landscape that inspired her most famous works. Today, visitors can take a guided tour of ÒOÕKeeffe country,Ó which includes the artistÕs adobe home in Abiqui and, about 13 miles north of there, the Ghost Ranch Education and Retreat Center. The tours are offered from mid-March through midNovember by the center. The Ghost Ranch property includes one of the richest dinosaur quarries in North America and is home to the Ruth Hall Museum of Paleontology and the Florence Hawley Ellis Museum of Anthropology.

Ojo Caliente For a day of relaxation and rehabilitation, head to the ancient mineral springs at Ojo Caliente, about 50 miles north of Santa Fe on US 285. Rich in lithium, iron, soda, and arsenicÑwhich are said to beneÞt conditions from arthritis to poor digestionÑthe waters have been prized for their healing properties since Native Americans settled along their periphery thousands of years ago. Spanish explorers reported visiting the springs in the 15th century, and in 1868 Ojo Caliente was established as the Þrst natural health spa in the United States. Today visitors at Ojo Caliente Resort and Spa can soak for hours (when not exploring the townÕs galleries and restaurants). Choose from ten public and three private outdoor pools, which offer a variety of mineral combinations and range in temperature from 80 to 109 degrees Fahrenheit. Then cover your body in detoxifying earth from the Mud Pool and let it dry as you bask in the New Mexico sunshine, or try a treatment at the spa, where deep-tissue and hot stone massages are among the many offerings. ItÕs only an hourÕs drive back to Santa Fe, but many visitors choose to extend the healing experience by spending the night. A historic hotel, built in 1916, offers simple, charming rooms, while more contemporary suites and private cottages, some with private outdoor tubs for soaking, are more luxurious.

A late afternoon drive through Northern New Mexico

The Eight Northern Pueblos For a taste of Native American culture, head to one of New MexicoÕs Eight Northern Pueblos: Namb , Picuris, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Ohkay Owingeh, Santa Clara, Taos, and Tesuque. There are 19 Pueblos in New Mexico; these eight lie north of Santa Fe but speak three languagesÑKeres, Tewa, and Tiwa. The Taos Pueblo, inhabited for more than 1,000 years, was designated a World Heritage Site in 1992. Visitors are welcome to explore parts of the Pueblo, the largest multistory Pueblo structure still standing in the country. The original inhabitants at Santa Clara Pueblo lived in cave-like homes carved into the side of a mesa. The Puye Cliff Dwellings, as theyÕre known, were occupied from the 900s to 1580 AD and can also be explored on guided tours. In addition, each Pueblo has a number of annual dances, events, and feast days at which visitors are welcome. The best way to Þnd out about current Pueblo events is to contact the Eight Northern Pueblos Council, located at Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo just north of the town of Espa ola on Highway 68.

The Jemez Mountain Trail, Bandelier, and Los Alamos The 100-plus-mile Jemez Mountain Trail, a network of scenic byways that wind through the Jemez range, reaches from Los Alamos west to Cuba and south to San Ysidro. Three of its most intriguingÑand accessibleÑattractions are concentrated in the northeast portion, beginning about 35 miles northwest of Santa Fe. Valles Caldera National Preserve, the most spectacular stop, is actually an ancient collapsed volcanic crater. Much of the land within the 89,000-acre crater was a private ranch until 2000, when the preserve was opened to the public for wildlife viewing, seasonal elk hunting, trout Þshing, and educational tours. Visitors can explore dozens of miles of hiking and biking trails, attend a ßy-Þshing clinic, or run the Caldera Marathon in June. About a 43-mile-drive from Santa Fe, off Highway 4, Bandelier National Monument is home to excavated ruins of a thousand-year-old settlement of ancestral Pueblo people, offering visitors an opportunity to view some of the earliest dwellings in the area. See dwelling ruins built along cliff walls and on the canyon ßoor, some made of blocks of volcanic tuff.

Ranger-guided tours explain the sites and their links between ancestral and modern Pueblo people. The areas surrounding Bandelier contain 70 miles of trails, most in wilderness areas. Day-trippers can opt for shorter hikes, such as the 5-mile Falls Trail loop, a 1.5-mile walk along the mesa at the ancient village of Tsankawi, or a 1.2-mile main loop trail through archaeological excavations on the Frijoles Canyon ßoor. North of Bandelier on Highway 501, the town of Los Alamos sits atop a broad mesa. Referred to as Òthe HillÓ among locals, it is best known as the home of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The lab, which was established during WWII to develop the Þrst nuclear weapons, remains active today, employing some of the greatest minds in engineering and science. Connected with LANL is the LISA LAW Bradbury Science Museum, in downtown Los Alamos. Its three galleries appeal to all ages, with hands-on exhibits related to defense, history, and research at LANLÑparticularly its atomic legacy. For an enlightening overview of the cityÕs past, stop at the Los Alamos Historical Museum. Its fascinating exhibits explain and interpret local geology, the Native American cultures that Þrst settled in the region, and, of course, the story of the Manhattan Project.

The Turquoise Trail and Madrid The Turquoise Trail, named for ancient turquoise mines in the area, heads south out of Santa Fe toward Albuquerque. This 62mile-long National Scenic Byway boasts expansive views of New MexicoÕs sky. Missionaries, Confederate soldiers, and outlaws once roamed the area, and Native peoples were mining for turquoise long before Europeans arrived. It was down this trail, in 1863, that Kit Carson marched the Navajo people on their deadly 300-mile Long Walk toward incarceration at Fort Sumner. Three towns with vivid historiesÑGolden, Cerrillos, and MadridÑsit along the trail. While tiny Golden remains undeveloped, Cerrillos and Madrid are enjoying a renaissance of art, theater, museums, and dining. Colorful Madrid (pronounced MAD-rid) is an eccentric artistsÕ community. In addition to more than 20 shops, restaurants, and artist studios, the Mine Shaft Tavern, a summertime Wild West melodrama at the Engine House Theatre, and the Old Coal Mine Museum contribute to the townÕs funky, fun character. Want to get out and explore the landscape? About four miles north of Madrid, Cerrillos Hills State Park (New MexicoÕs newest) comprises more than a thousand quiet acres of high-desert beauty. Hike or mountain bike on Þve miles of trails, or arrange to visit the park on horseback with Broken Saddle Riding Company in Cerrillos. Interpretive signage provides a unique look at the areaÕs mining past. Guided tours of the Ortiz Mountains Educational PreserveÑhome to pi on and ponderosa pines and more than 80 species of birdsÑare available through the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, which manages the 1,350-acre area. For a scenic side trip when youÕre heading north back to Santa Fe on NM 14, take County Road 45 northwest through the once-turquoise-rich Cerrillos Hills to El Rancho de las Golondrinas (Spanish for ÒRanch of the SwallowsÓ) in La Cienega. A working ranch in the 19th century, the 200-acre property is now a Spanish Colonial living history museum, hosting family2011

Pecos National Historical Park and the Pecos Wilderness

Drive 25 miles north on I-25 from Santa Fe and youĂ&#x2022;ll Ă&#x17E;nd 6,670-acre Pecos National Historical Park. The main area contains the ruins of Pecos PuebloĂ&#x2018;a 900-year-old, 700-room multilevel complexĂ&#x2018;and the remains of a 17th-century Spanish mission church, Nuestra SeÂ&#x2013;ora de los Angeles de Porciuncula de los Pecos. An easy, 1.25-mile, self-guided trail leads visitors through the main area of the park, beginning at the visitors center and making its way through the Pueblo ruins and the church remains. The other area includes several sites along the historic Santa Fe Trail, plus a 2.5-mile walking trailĂ&#x2018;with 15 waysides for visitorsĂ&#x2018;that runs through the Glorieta BattleĂ&#x17E;eld, site of the 1862 Civil War battle of Glorieta Pass. A trip through parts of the high Pecos Wilderness, Ă&#x;anked by the Rio Grande to the west and the Pecos River to the east, is also worth your while. At 233,333 acres, the area encompasses stunning landscapes of wide mesas, steep canyons, high mountain lakes, waterfalls, more than 150 miles of streams, heavily forested mountainsides, and rugged peaks that reach beyond timberline. With plenty of trout, bear, deer, elk, turkey, and bighorn sheep, the Wilderness and its surrounding lands are popular seasonal destinations for sportsmen, as well as hikers, horseback riders, and campers.

Santa FeÑthe biggest little art city in the world SANTA FEÕS PLENTY WELL-KNOWN for its art, its artists, its artistic sensibilities, and its arty ways. What many people arenÕt so well aware of is that itÕs also the countryÕs third largest art market. That means Santa Fe sells more art than Chicago, San Francisco, MiamiÑevery city except New York and Los Angeles. Aside from all those art-commerce transactions, however, at any of the 200-plus galleries here in town, the city also boasts several major museums, which feature all artistic mediums and genres, from centuries-old treasures to an exploding number of contemporary works. Plain and simple, Santa Fe is one of the worldÕs foremost art destinations, and among artists and other creative types, itÕs an art-world mecca. Painters and photographers have been descending on both northern New Mexico and Santa Fe since the late 1800s, but the Santa Fe art scene truly didnÕt begin to blossom until the early years of the 20th century, when European and East Coast artists and writers began to settle inÑstarting with Ernest Blumenschein and the founding of the Taos Society of Artists, and

the establishment of the Santa Fe Art Colony, by painters Sheldon Parsons and Gerald Cassidy, among others, both in 1915. Enchanted by the regionÕs natural beauty and its unique cultural offerings, these creative newcomers adapted to and adopted their new landscape and its variegated cultures, as did the many peoples and artists whoÕd been here centuries before them. The regionÕs art-centric ways go back to the object-making traditions of its Native peoples. Pueblo and other tribal artisans have produced beautiful utilitarian and ceremonial objects for thousands of years. Similarly, the equally rich Hispanic arts and crafts particular to northern New Mexico developed soon after the Spanish arrived 400 years ago. By the 1960s, Hispanic art had begun to reassert itself, Native artists had been busy bucking stereotypes, and an overall sense of daring and appreciation for artÑand arts of all kinds and originsÑhad positioned the City Different as the City Artistic. There were artists galore, most of whom were working in the vein of their immediate environment: Western art, and

art inßuenced by Native and Hispanic art, predominated. What was lacking were outlets. Slowly, at some point in the 1980s, galleries and curators began to capitalize on the popularity of Santa FeÕs art and artists; they especially seized on the newfound popularity of Western art. At the same time, more contemporary art and artists began to show up, too, as signiÞed by the relocation here of such forward-looking artists as Bruce Naumann, Susan Rothenberg, and Judy Chicago. Nowadays, Western, Native American, and Hispanic art still comprise a signiÞcant chunk of Santa FeÕs Þne-art market (as typiÞed by the worldÕs largest gathering of Native artists at the annual Indian Market, in August), but the scope of the cityÕs artistic ßavors runs the gamut from internationally respected contemporary art, sculpture, and Þne crafts in everything from marble to glass, as well as two centuriesÕ worth of top-notch photography. Santa Fe also now has its own major international biennial (produced by the nonproÞt art space SITE Santa Fe), an annual contemporary-art fair (Art Santa Fe), and serves as the host of the SOFA (Sculpture Objects & Functional Art) expo, joining the ranks of long-standing host cities Chicago and New York. Uniquely situated in todayÕs global art market, given its artistic history and historic artworks, its Native arts and artists, and its vibrant arts community, Santa Fe continues to attract artists and art lovers from all over the world.

Canyon Road Canyon Road is easily Santa FeÕs most famous street. ItÕs narrow, itÕs lined with authentic adobe former homes transformed into galleries, and it makes for a lovely afternoon or evening stroll any time of the year. But it wasnÕt until 1962 that the city designated it a Òresidential arts and crafts zone.Ó Even so, itÕd be another 20 years before this quaint residential avenue really took on the iconic status it enjoys today. Still replete with galleries specializing in Western, Native American, and landscape art, Canyon Road galleries now offer plenty of other genres and media as well. In the former category, Altermann Galleries features important American Modernist and Western painters and sculptors of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and the Gerald Peters Gallery, around the corner on Paseo de Peralta, carries historic works as well as contemporary pieces ranging from Þnely detailed landscapes to abstract sculpture; while Native American art, such as ancient pottery, 100-year-old jewelry, Hopi kachinas and basketry, and contemporary ceramics can be found at Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery and Steve Elmore Indian Art, and contemporary Southwestern painting and sculpture are the focus at McLarry Fine Art. Representational painting and sculpture, both 28

santafe.org

traditional and contemporary, are additionally available from galleries with a non-Native focus, such as Greenberg Fine Art, Ventana, Waxlander, Winterowd, and Selby Fleetwood. Cutting-edge nonobjective, conceptual, installation, and contemporary realist art has been a growing presence on Canyon Road since the 1990s, with these kinds of works linking Santa Fe to an increasingly global art scene. Among such venues are Chiaroscuro Contemporary Art and GF Contemporary, as well as Hunter Kirkland and The Edge (and, over on nearby Delgado, just off Canyon, at InArt). On a more local level, Karan Ruhlen highlights New Mexico modernists and present-day contemporary painters and sculptors.

Downtown The heart of historic Santa Fe also serves as a hub of Þne-art activity, with scores of galleries on the Plaza and surrounding streets. LewAllen Contemporary, Manitou, and Peterson-Cody all offer contemporary representational painting and sculpture. Skotia and Evoke, too, offer plenty of Þne contemporary paintings, photographs, collages, and sculptures. The newly opened David Richard Contemporary gallery, on Lincoln, probably qualiÞes as literally the brightest new store in town; it typically brandishes abstract pieces so brilliant you might Þnd yourself reaching for that pair of sunglasses. Monroe Gallery of Photography, just off the Plaza, shows historic and contemporary photographs, while Verve Fine Art, on Marcy Street, also focuses on innovative work that takes the photographic arts in new directions. Native American art takes center stage under the portal of the Palace of the Governors on the PlazaÕs north side, where Native artists, mostly silversmiths, spread out their work on blankets and sell directly to the public. Nearby, Packards on the Plaza and Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery offer kachina carvings, jewelry, painting, sculpture, pottery, and even glass art; while Shiprock Trading, two stories above the PlazaÕs east side, also has an array of Native pottery, jewelry, paintings, sculptureÑas well as furniture. Many internationally known Native artists are represented in Lincoln Avenue galleries Blue Rain, Niman Fine Art, and Legends Santa Fe, and at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, across the street from the St. Francis Cathedral. Joe Wade Fine Art, on Water Street, features work that ranges from paintings and limited-edition bronzes to Þne jewelryÑall from emerging and established American artists. Nearby, Kiva specializes in Native American sculpture, pottery, rugs, and other artworks made between 1920 and 1950. Not far down the block, art thatÕs thoroughly modern can be found at the Pop Gallery, which abounds in Pop Art-style creations in all media. For art that truly pushes the envelope, Eileen Braziel,

just down from the OÕKeeffe Museum, specializes in site-speciÞc and conceptual art. Inside the 93-year-old New Mexico Museum of Art, a magniÞcent Spanish Pueblo Revival building at one corner of the Plaza, resides a large permanent collection of works created in and related to New Mexico. Learn about the history of this regionÕs Þne art at its comprehensive How the West Is One exhibit, on display throughout April. Two blocks away stands the 13year-old Georgia OÕKeeffe MuseumÑdedicated both to the life and works of the great 20th-century modernist painter and her contemporaries, and where from May 20 to September 11 the Museum will feature Shared Intelligence: American Painting and the Photograph, a survey exploring the relationship of painting to photography in 20th-century American art..

The Railyard District Since its unveiling in the fall of 2008, and with the arrival shortly thereafter of the Rail Runner railway line, this 50-acre, city-owned art district and community gathering spot is now poised to become the cityÕs hub for creativity. Perhaps serving as this areaÕs anchor is SITE Santa Fe, a private, not-for-profit contemporary art space, whose biennial shows are of growing international importance. Nearby galleries, in clean-lined buildings that reflect a modern interpretation of adobe architecture, include venues such as James Kelly Contemporary, EVO, and Gebert Contemporary, all situated along Guadalupe Street. Each specializes in its own contemporary-art niche, from GebertÕs site-specific installations (in its 6,000-square-foot space) of sculpture, painting, photography, and video artwork to EVOÕs contemporary art-world giants, including Pop Art painter Ed Ruscha and new-media pioneer Steina. Lovers of minimalist or reductive painting, sculpture, and installation art can find it at Charlotte Jackson Fine Art. Nearby, William Siegal juxtaposes a distinguished revolving collection of ancient art and artifacts with works most contemporary and modernist, while across Guadalupe Street, Zane Bennett

ContemporaryÕs new two-story space houses abstract paintings and sculpture. A notable addition to the new Artyard complex includes the Jay Elkins Gallery. Baca Street, which marks the Railyard DistrictÕs western end, has in recent years emerged as an arts hub where area artists can set up shop in affordable spaces. An ever-changing warren of studio galleries, at its core is Elodie HolmesÕs Liquid Light Glass hot shop. For a complete list of galleries, visit santafe.org.

Museum Hill Situated on Camino Lejo, a hillside street southeast of downtown, acessible by the Santa Fe Trails M-Line Bus, Museum Hill is made up of four distinct institutions representing art of the Southwest and the world. At opposite ends of the short drive are two Þrst-rate private museums, the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian. In between is Milner Plaza, which is bookended by a pair of outstanding Museum of New Mexico member institutions: The Museum of International Folk Art, which houses the worldÕs largest collection of traditional folk art from around the globe, and the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, which presents the diverse Native arts of the greater Southwest, with an eye to the ties between art and its historic and cultural contexts. About a mile away from Museum Hill, on Old Santa Fe Trail, is the Center for Contemporary Arts. Committed to promoting some of the best contemporary art to come out of this area, CCA also boasts one of the cityÕs best theaters. Aside from the many museums and galleries, there are also impromptu group showings, plus artistsÕ studios and specialty galleries: Dwight Hackett Projects, a warehouse space off industrial Siler Road, contains edgy contemporary fare; in Tesuque, about Þve miles north of downtown, the Shidoni Foundry showcases bronze sculpture cast on-site and offers weekly, open-to-the-public molten-bronze pours; and, at Warehouse 21 and Santa Fe Community College, there are impressive shows of new, young, and upcoming local artists. And donÕt forget the wonderful art on display on the walls of the capitol building and the Community Gallery at the Santa Fe Community Convention CenterÑtwo more solid galleries in their own right. 2011

Dining out in the City Deliciously Different If any town in New Mexico could be called Foodie Town, it is certainly Santa Fe. With over 200 restaurants in a city with a population of roughly 75,000 full-time inhabitants, there are a lot of dining options to choose fromÑand thatÕs half the fun for locals and visitors. This popularity and passion for good food stems from our rich culinary history that dates back centuries and is the coming together of two major cultures: Native American and Mexican, both of which settled our part of the country and developed its edible treasures. One taste of a dish that features any of our prized ingredients and you will see what inspires the international attention our restaurant scene garners. With our mountain vistas and desert topography you may Þnd yourself, at different times of the year, enjoying our cookery in front of a roaring Þre or in a sun-Þlled centuries-old plaza. While many restaurants celebrate indigenous ingredients like corn, chiles, squash, and beans, virtually every other major ethnic cuisine is represented hereÑThai, Chinese, Hawaiian, Japanese, French, Italian, Moroccan, Mexican, and in settings as diverse as a classic bistro, classy chophouse, high-end dining room, Airstream trailer, or casual taco cart. Our celebrated Farmers Market, in its home in the Railyard Park & Plaza, is a must-stop for locally grown foods. Plus, New MexicoÕs thriving wine industry is gaining national attention; youÕll want to sample it while eating up the goodies offered here. New MexicoÕs love of her most prized crop, chile, sets us apart from other Southwestern states. We love it so much we keep almost 80 percent of the annual harvest to enjoy right here. Some prefer the kick of the roasted green, others the smoky depth of a ripened, dried red, either way try them poured over an enchilada, stuffed and batter fried, simmered into a piquant stew, or simply strewn across a hamburger. You can learn more about our local fare in a variety of cooking programs at the Santa Fe School of Cooking, and the Las Cosas Cooking School. When you visit our city, get ready to take a big bite out of a dining scene that is as old as the Anasazis of Chaco Canyon and as contemporary as todayÕs current food trends.

Gourmet Greats A quartet of great restaurants forms the core of Santa FeÕs upscale dining scene. Geronimo, Coyote Caf , and The Compound are wellestablished eateries that garner nationwide attention, with Eric DiStefano handling the culinary magic at the Þrst two and Mark KifÞn doing the same at The CompoundÑand both men keeping other Santa Fe chefs on their creative toes. Geronimo, with its soft leather banquettes and eclectic menu, regularly wins kudos for service and ambience, while the Coyote has reclaimed its past glories thanks to DiStefanoÕs revamping of its regional cuisine. The CompoundÕs KifÞn won a James Beard award for best chef in the Southwest in 2006, and the classic d cor and clever use of foie gras and caviar make it a great place for a Òdress-upÓ date. Restaurant Mart n, the new-ish kid on the block and fourth culinary star, signals popular chef Mart n RiosÕs foray into owning his own restaurantÑclearly he is inspired in his own kitchen. All four are must-visits.

Bed and... Dinner Forget the misconception that hotel food is dull. Santa FeÕs trendy hotels take their restaurants very seriously, with chefs who often

become local celebs. ThereÕs the Native American cuisine at Hotel Santa Fe; and a similarly Native-tinged menu on hand at Inn of the Anasazi, whose British chef, Oliver Ridgeway, serves up a sprawling, proper English breakfastÑand the dining roomÕs touches of indigenous design remind you that you are still in the Southwest. Inn at LorettoÕs Luminaria Restaurant, sitting in the shadows of the world-famous Loretto Chapel, is a stylish dining destination with modern cooking at play. The dramatic renovations to the downtown Hotel St. Francis include a trendy bar, Secreto, and restaurant, Tabla de los Santos, which features the cuisine of former Caf San Estevan chef Estevan Garcia. The Old House Restaurant, off the lobby of the Eldorado Hotel, has made a brilliant culinary comeback with Chef Wilson Wieggel at the stoves. La Fonda Hotel, one of the few remaining Harvey Houses, set on the site at the end of the Old Santa Fe Trail, has spruced up the historic La Plazuela Restaurant where Chef Lane Warner serves up classic Norte o cooking as well as contemporary goodies. And Terra, at the reenvisioned Encantado Resort, with its modern desert feel, has excelled under the direction of Chef Charles Dale.

Red or Green Where you choose to give in to the charms of New MexicoÕs prized chiles doesnÕt matter: Nu-Mex restaurants abound, and the chileÕs good at all of them. Locals love TomasitaÕs, at the Railyard, and La Choza, just off the tracks. At MariaÕs New Mexican Kitchen, voted vendor of the Best Margarita in Santa FeanÕs 2008 ChefsÕ Picks, you can cool your taste buds with one of 100 kinds of tequila. Other celebrated options: Giada De Laurentiis, from the Food Network, got her chile Þx at Tia SophiaÕs; The Shed, just off the Plaza, has a sublime red chile; and the Þery green sauce at the rambling roadhouse, HorsemanÕs Haven, is considered a must.

Locals Love ’Em To get the true culinary ßavor of a town, eat where the locals eat. For 30 years, Caf PasqualÕs has been a hometown favorite by virtue of its eclectic ÒEquatorialÓ menu and big breakfasts. Tecolote Caf and The Pantry are family favoritesÑlaid back and cost consciousÑ while the historic Plaza Caf , right on the Plaza and serving chow since 1918, serves up Nu-Mex favorites as well as Greek specialties and towering pies and cakes. Tune-Up Caf offers one of the best burgers in town, in both beef and buffalo versions. Counter Culture features a casual setting with a world cuisine menu and the biggest most decadent cinnamon bun in these parts. In the Second Street neighborhood, Chocolate Maven offers a unique experience of dining in a working bakery. Pranzo Italian Grill and Andiamo!, both off Guadalupe Street, are straightforward Italian trattorias full of ßavor but without the fuss. And HarryÕs Roadhouse, on Old Las Vegas Highway, offers comfort food with a Southwestern twist.

Tapas Tango Santa Fe shows off its Spanish roots in a trio of hot spots for tapas: tasty, couple-of-bites appetizers that are perfect for sharing when you want variety. El Farol and El Mes n, both long established, plus the hot La Boca, all impress diners with their creative Spanish fare. The traditional ingredientsÑSerrano ham, Manchego cheese, olives, and paellaÑoften come with live music or ßamenco.

Opposite: Santa Fe’s world-renowned restaurants serve up mouth-watering New Mexican cuisine and more. 2011

SANTA FE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS

JENNIFER ESPERANZA

Artists from traditional to cutting edge perform regularly in Santa Fe ANN MURDY

Homegrown talent and world-renowned performers share Santa Fe spotlights Santa Fe is a small city. Size, though, is not everything. However small Santa Fe may be in population, and in square miles, it more than makes up for in inßuence, in activities, in offerings, and, most importantly, in movement. More interesting people and events move through Santa Fe than perhaps any other urban area its size anywhere else in the world. Pick any night of the week and youÕll Þnd live music, dancing, performances, lectures, gatherings, you name it. In town, or at one of the nearby casinos, along the river, in the woods, thereÕs always something happening here: something interesting. One of the cityÕs top one-size-Þts-all venues is the nonproÞt Lensic Performing Arts Center downtown. Built in 1931, the Spanish RenaissanceÐstyle auditorium hosted legends like Rita Hayworth and Judy Garland over the decades before falling into disrepair in the late 20th century. Restored and reopened in 2001, the Lensic now regularly hosts music, dance, literary, and theater programs and is home to seven local performance organizations, from chamber-music group Santa Fe Pro Musica to music promoter Fan Man Productions, which brought in acts such as Lyle Lovett and Modest Mouse in 2010. During the winter, the Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus and the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet move in with concerts (2010 shows include 38

santafe.org

selections by Mozart and the music of Spain and Latin America) and brand-new contemporary ballet choreographies. From fall to spring the Lensic also hosts the Santa Fe Concert AssociationÕs internationally touring vocalists and musicians and the Lannan FoundationÕs Readings & Conversations series, which draws from the townÕs highly literate demographic by inviting literary giants such as Don DeLillo and Arundhati Roy, who read and discuss their work. Check out Tickets Santa Fe to get full details and purchase tickets for a range of upcoming local events and performances, at 505-988-1234 or ticketssantafe.org. Whether itÕs the world-renowned opera, a symphony orchestra, a world-class chamber-music group, ballet and contemporary dance companies, an experimental theater group, or a brown-bag library luncheon, itÕs the people who make the difference here in the City Different. YouÕre as likely to see a couple dressed to the nines at the Santa Fe Rodeo as spot another pair in blue jeans and shorts at the Santa Fe OperaÑand then run into all four of them in one of the cityÕs bars or restaurants, doing the ßamenco, listening to a jazz trio, or partaking of the Geeks Who Drink quiz (at the Catamount Bar and Grille). And chances are, those four people are probably a mechanic, a physicist, a massage therapist, and an IT manager for the stateÕs department of health.

Music The Santa Fe Opera, which brings in star tenors and sopranosÑ and their fansÑfrom Europe and New YorkÕs Metropolitan Opera, features new works and classics from July through August (the 2011 season includes La Boh me and Faust). Unlike most other opera houses, Santa FeÕs open-air design affords operagoers the unique opportunity of watching both the show onstage and the show beyond the stage: the sunsets, the rainstorms, the clouds, the nighttime sky. For six weeks during July and August thereÕs also the 39-year-old Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. Year-round, the Concordia de Santa Fe wind ensemble can be found at St. Francis Auditorium (full ensemble) or St. JohnÕs United Methodist Church (chamber music). Santa Fe Pro Musica, a classicalmusic performance and education nonproÞt organization, puts on dozens of intimate concerts for lovers of string-quartet music and more, at the New Mexico Museum of ArtÕs St. Francis Auditorium. And during the summer, and the winter as well, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, a professional choral ensemble, performs at gorgeous venues around town, with the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis topping its list. Aside from the big-ticket acts brought in to the Lensic, Fan Man books acts into other venues around town, and lesserknown but equally gifted performers, from director/musician Bruce Dunlap to neo-ßamenco guitarist Ottmar Liebert, play at the chic GiG Performance Space, on Second Street. And for free live music, the Bandstand on the Plaza showcases local and regional talent Monday through Thursday evenings during July and August: Latin jazz, blues, rock, Andean music, or a fusion of genres. In that same free-and-live vein, thereÕs also Music on the Hill at St. JohnÕs CollegeÑa family-friendly concert series where listeners lounge and picnic on the schoolÕs athletic Þeld most Wednesdays in June and July.

Theater Santa Fe Playhouse, founded in 1922 by writer Mary Austin, brings imaginative community theater to the stage, from the annual Benchwarmers one-act-play competition (every February) to productions of Shakespeare comedies. And it all happens in an historic adobeÑthe oldest continually running playhouse west of the MississippiÑin the 391-year-old Barrio de Analco neighborhood, off Old Santa Fe Trail. Another annually performing theatrical troupe is Theater Grottesco, an avant-garde company formed 27 years ago in Paris that likes to come up with new twists on old standards, and performs at the Santa Fe Opera and the Center for Contemporary Arts. Inßuenced by the same training as some Cirque du Soleil

members, GrottescoÕs performers meld acting with movement arts. Similarly, the physical-theater circus-arts group known as Wise Fool New Mexico, performs its annual Circus Luminous extravaganza at the Lensic, and can often be found at other venues performing its beloved puppet shows. When theyÕre not spicing up other venues in Germany, Los Angeles, or New York, the Juan Siddi Flamenco Theatre Company can be found at The Lodge between June and September.

Nightlife El Farol restaurant and cantina, still Canyon RoadÕs top nighttime entertainment destination, offers weekly tableside ßamenco shows in the restaurant, as well as live music (often from the Cuban band Savor, who also play at the Eldorado Hotel once a week). El Mes n, near the Plaza, also serves up monthly tableside ßamenco shows, along with traditional Spanish cuisine and weekly tango nights. Downtown, the Cowgirl Bar & Grill, a Western-themed favorite, serves mesquitesmoked brisket, margaritas, and music most nights in a range of genres, indoors or on the patio. It also offers up the townÕs best people-watching. Just up the way, the Tin Star Saloon has blues jam nights, while over at Coraz n, thereÕs always an eclectic mix of funk, blues, reggae, salsa, and DJs, as well as weekly karaoke. Across the Plaza, La Fiesta Lounge, inside the La Fonda hotel, serves up live country and folk music. For a bite of Big Apple ßavor, try Vanessie, a continental grill and piano bar, where resident pianists Doug Montgomery and Charles Tichenor tickle out everything from cabaret to pop standards, or La Casa Sena Cantina, where the gourmet dinner includes waiters belting out Broadway tunes twice a night. Other nighttime entertainment spots include the Second Street Brewery (on Second Street and at the Railyard), Milagro 139 (on West San Francisco Street) and the Mine Shaft Tavern (in nearby Madrid). ThereÕs also music and dancing at TinyÕs, jazz at La Posada, and Native American music at Amaya. For touring Americana and indie bands, head out to the Santa Fe Brewing Company. ItÕs New MexicoÕs oldest microbrewery and boasts a sizeable stage and surprisingly good acoustics. And donÕt forget The Matador, downtown, where, on weeknights, DJ Prairie Dog and others regularly heat up the turntables. The Silver Starlight Lounge at RainbowVision, a GLBT-friendly retirement community at the south end of town on Rodeo Road, has been rated one of the 50 best gay bars in the world by Out magazine and hosts regular drag shows and cabarets. Downtown, dance to tunes spun by DJ Oona at The Rouge Cat, a popular GLBT nightclub. 2011

Eldorado Hotel & Spa puts you at the center of the Santa Fe experience.

The showrooms of both Tesuque PuebloÕs Camel Rock Casino, about 15 miles north of town on Highway 84/285, and Pojoaque PuebloÕs brand-new Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino, nearby on Buffalo Thunder Trail, bring notable acts and performers as wellÑfrom Randy Travis to comedian Bill Engvall.

Where Santa Fe begins.

Santa Fe is a city of cinephiles. In addition to the 26 commercial screens at its three theater complexes, the City Filmic also has two of the Þner art-house theaters in the state: the Center for Contemporary Arts Cinematheque, on Old Santa Fe Trail, seats 140 and shows documentaries and international Þlms, and The Screen, on the campus of the University of Art & Design (formerly the College of Santa Fe), plays the latest art Þlms on a big, beautiful screen with an impressive sound system. Other Þlms, particularly revivals and premieres, can also be found at the Lensic and in the New Mexico Film Museum. In October, the Santa Fe Film Festival, now in its 12th year, showcases Þlms from across the globe at theaters throughout the city. Newer but growing quickly, the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival (also in October) features underground cinema, art Þlms, and experimental works.

Festivals One of the mainstays of Santa FeÕs entertainment scene is its festivals. In mid-February, the Santa Fe Winter Fiesta is a ten-day celebration of arts, culture, and winter outdoor activities. In June, the Santa Fe Dance Festival features three consecutive weekends of contemporary choreographies performed by Moving People Dance TheatreÕs classically trained, ultramodern dancers. Also in June, the Thirsty Ear Festival is a three-day roots music bonanza that includes camping, a saloon offering microbrews, and headline artists that in the past have included KebÕ MoÕ and Indigenous. In July comes the long-running Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and the New Mexico Jazz Festival, which boasts two solid weeks of saxophone and trombone solos (and more) on the Plaza and at the Lensic, as well as at venues in Albuquerque. Closer to Labor Day, thereÕs the 36th annual Santa Fe Bluegrass & Old Time Music Festival (August 26-28), at the Santa Fe County Fairgrounds. 40

Santa FeÕs best ways to relax and rejuvenate ThereÕs something about Santa Fe, with its fresh, clear air and sunshine-Þlled days, thatÕs invigorating. But the city has even more to offer those seeking mind-body wellness and total rejuvenation. Thanks in part to the inßuences of the regionÕs rich Native American culture, Santa Fe has long been a center for traditional, non-Western healing practices. The city is home to three major alternative-healing institutionsÑNew Mexico Academy of Healing Arts, the Scherer Institute, and Southwest Acupuncture CollegeÑwhich not only educate students from around the world but offer residents and visitors access to cutting-edge therapies. YouÕll Þnd services from deep-tissue massage to reßexology and polarity therapy, all at surprisingly affordable prices. A 55-minute massage session with a student at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts, for example, runs just $30; graduate students at the academy, who have more experience, will work on your muscles for just $50 an hour.

Soak Away Your Stress Ten Thousand Waves, a peaceful, Japanese-style spa in the mountains just minutes from downtown, is the perfect place to soothe sore muscles after a day of skiing, relax after a tough week at work, or just treat yourself to some pampering. Try the budget-friendly communal hot tub or reserve one of the luxurious private tubs, each secluded by rustic walls and shady treesÑyouÕll feel as if youÕre miles away from reality. The spa also offers a range of bodywork and treatment options, from hot and cold stone massage to salt glow treatments and custom facials. In downtown itself, thereÕs the Tranquility Floatation, Massage, and Healing Center, whose ßoatation tanks offer 60 to 90 minutes of gravity-defying relaxation like youÕve never experienced it. About 50 miles north of Santa Fe, Ojo Caliente Resort and SpaÑone of the oldest natural health resorts in the countyÑfeatures ten natural geothermal pools that have been prized for their healing beneÞts for thousands of years.

Ranging in temperature from 80 to 109 degrees Fahrenheit, the mineral-rich waters at Ojo Caliente are Þlled with lithium, iron, soda, and arsenic, which are believed to help conditions ranging from depression to digestive issues. The refreshing mud pool, open from May to October, is touted as a great way to detoxify your skin. Slather yourself with mud, let it dry in the warm New Mexico sun, and leave, the resort promises, feeling cleansed and refreshed.

Get Moving Yoga seems to get more and more popular in Santa Fe each year. Luckily, the city has studios to serve practitioners of every variety and skill level. Body of Santa Fe, with classes in Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa, and restorative yoga, was voted ÒBest Yoga StudioÓ in the Santa Fe ReporterÕs 2009 and 2010 reader surveys. Other favorite studiosÑall of which accept drop-insÑinclude Yoga Source (Iyengar and Ashtanga), Yoga Moves (yoga and creative movement), the nonprofit Santa Fe Community Yoga Center, and BikramÕs Yoga Santa Fe (Hatha postures practiced in a room heated to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, for increased f lexibility). For an energizing workout that combines healing arts, martial arts, and dance, try a Nia class at StudioNia Santa Fe or at the Genoveva Chavez Center. YouÕll Þnd classes in ballet, jazz, modern dance, and more at Moving People Dance Theatre (look for performances by their outstanding professional company around town throughout the year). Drop in for a Latin dance lesson at Salsa Suave, which hosts several salsa classes weekly at the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet studio. If belly dancingÕs your thing, check out the Middle EastÐinspired classes at Pomegranate Studios. A uniquely exhilarating combination can be found on any of YogihikerÕs yoga and hiking outings through the Sangre de Cristos. Finally, youÕll Þnd a variety of movement and Þtness classesÑfrom spinning to step aerobicsÑat two municipal Þtness facilities: Fort Marcy Complex, on the north side, and 2011

the Genoveva Chavez Community Center, a state-of-the-art 170,000-square-foot Ă&#x17E;tness center on the south side of town. These facilities also have workout equipment, basketball courts, and heated indoor pools for year-round enjoymentĂ&#x2018;and the Chavez Center offers an indoor ice rink.

Resort and Day Spas Santa Fe arguably offers more world-class spa experiences than any other American city of its size, with treatments inĂ&#x;uenced by cultures near and far. The Nidah Spa, at the Eldorado Hotel, offers a range of blissful treatments based on the healing properties of local ingredients, from desert clay to sage and juniper. Try the Chili and Honey Rub, the Blue Corn and Anasazi Bean Cleanse, or a calming Turquoise Gem Massage. At Absolute Nirvana, a heavenly little spa tucked into the Madeleine Inn, a downtown bed and breakfast, Indonesian spa treatments are the specialty. The deluxe Balinese Boreh treatment includes a warming massage with Bali Spice Oil and a skin-softening body mask made with cloves, cinnamon, ginger, sandalwood, and nutmeg. At the RockResorts Spa at La Posada, exotic offerings are inĂ&#x;uenced by local Native cultures. The Spirit of Santa Fe, for example, is based on the four directions of the Medicine Wheel and includes a blue cornmeal and tobacco scrub, ceremonial sage tea, a cedar oil massage, and a sweetgrass tea herbal wrap. The Spa at the Hotel Santa Fe combines Native and Asian inĂ&#x;uences: Try a Sacred Ground Body Wrap, a blend of blue-green algae and French green clay. The Spa at Loretto has a menu of treatments reĂ&#x;ecting the Ă&#x17E;ve elements (earth, air, Ă&#x17E;re, water, and spirit) and emphasizes indigenous New Mexico herbs and minerals. The Downtown Day Spa, a convenient, restorative wellness center in the heart of downtown, serves up therapies from hot stone massage to Shiatsu, while north of town, Buffalo Thunder Resort & CasinoĂ&#x2022;s WoĂ&#x2022; PĂ&#x2022;In Spa offers peels, body therapies, salon services, and massages (with a Vichy-water rubdown), while the luxurious Spa at Encantado mixes Eastern, Western, and Native healing philosophies with puriĂ&#x17E;cation rituals, aromatherapy, and specialty treatments for women, men, and couples. The stunning ShÂ&#x2021;Nah Spa at BishopĂ&#x2022;s Lodge includes, along with a wide range of exotic treatments, a Watsu pool, two outdoor massage gardens, and an authentic Native American tepee, all at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Meanwhile, just south of Santa Fe, in La Cienega valley, the Spa at Sunrise Springs provides massage, reiki, reĂ&#x;exology, and sound-healing therapies in a tranquil, rustic setting.

Located just two blocks from the Historic Plaza, Otra Vez is steps away from dining, shopping and art galleries. We have eighteen unique and luxurios condos.

How Santa Fe is designing its future While thousands of out-of-towners ßock to Santa Fe each year to see and buy the work of the cityÕs painters, sculptors, jewelers, photographers, and other Þne artists, and/or take advantage of its rich performing-arts scene (its world-class opera, ballet, theatre, and modern dance), or Þnd themselves swept up by the creative energies and endeavors of the cityÕs other innovatorsÑits designers, architects, and builders, its science and ecological gurus, as well as its healing-arts practitionersÑone of the unique aspects of coming to this City Different is that you can not only see and do so many different things, you can actually create your own experience around them as well. Known as creative tourism, this fastgrowing Òparticpative learningÓ phenomenon has long been a part of Santa FeÕs allure and its history. ThereÕs a culture of sharing, teaching, and doing it for yourself here thatÕs hard to Þnd in other cities. As outlined on the cityÕs creative tourism website (www. santafecreativetourism.org), Santa Fe offers nearly 100 ofÞcially recognized creative tourism experiences: puppetry and circus arts with the Wise Fool circus troupe, arts and crafts making at Santa Fe School of Weaving and Artists for Hire, 46

santafe.org

outdoor excursions with Santa Fe Mountain Adventures, tango and/or ßamenco lessons with Juan Siddi Flamenco or Julia Chac nÕs Inspiraci n Flamenca, haiku writing at the Georgia OÕKeeffe Museum, memoir writing with local author Jan Marquart, glassblowing at Baca Street Studios, pottery making with Green River Pottery, and much, much more. These opportunities can run from a few hours to a few weeks, and many of them are free. This creative spirit arose at least a millennium ago among the areaÕs earliest Native American settlers, who continue to energize life here with a sense of connectedness to the world. And as old as Santa Fe is, it remains a leading-edge nexus for people wanting to push its citizens and its environment forwardÑwhether thatÕs in the forefront of smart growth, green building, or civic harmony. Acknowledgement for that leadership came in 2004, when the United Nations named Santa Fe the countryÕs Þrst member of the U.N. Creative Cities Network. The designation underscored the city governmentÕs efforts to bring creativity, design, and sustainability into the core of its economic-development plan. That vision gained momentum through the cityÕs 2008 Sustainable Santa Fe

plan, which called for local policies based on environmental stewardship, economic health, and social justice. The simple yet ambitious goals included reducing urban sprawl, promoting energy-efÞcient carbon-neutral development, exploring alternatives to automobiles, restoring the watersheds, building more parks and open spaces, and revitalizing the Santa Fe River. You can see the cityÕs creative approach at Railyard Park, a 50-acre mixed-use neighborhood, with a park, extensive shopping and dining opportunities, and a transportation hub for trains, shuttles, and private autos. At this communityfocused, pedestrian friendly urban center, youÕll Þnd 13 acres of open space, an amphitheater, a pedestrian thoroughfare, and several kid-magnet playgrounds. Other attractions and enterprises include a gallery-heavy retail area; nonproÞts such as the youth-oriented Warehouse 21 arts center, the Hispanic cultural center, and El Museo Cultural. The cityÕs thriving Farmers Market makes its home at the Railyard too. This weekly gathering of local growers offers everything from fresh meat, produce, and cheeses to cooking demos by area chefs. And just to keep things honest, the Railyard still works as a train depot. Take a scenic roundtrip ride to historic Lamy on the Santa Fe Southern Railway, or hop the New Mexico Rail Runner to Albuquerque (with bus connections to the airport) and the Rio Grande valley communities of Los Lunas and Belen. The cityÕs unique ßair for creatively blending past and present found expression in the construction of the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, which honored the cityÕs traditional architecture style while addressing 21st-century concerns of energy efÞciency and sustainability. Finished in 2008 and just two blocks north of the Plaza, the 75,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facilityÑwith 500-plus underground parking spacesÑachieves high style in the Santa Fe mode while integrating high-tech green elements like cisterns and nontoxic materials into its roof terraces and zaguans (long entrance halls). Sustainable building practices have also been embraced by local builders and private developers. The Marquez Lofts, Second Street Studios, and Pacheco Park complex have become magnets for design Þrms and art businesses. Other ecosensitive developments include Oshara Village and Aldea, both on the cityÕs outskirts and based on the principle of providing increased communal open spaces. 2011

Celebrities have always found Santa Fe to be a refuge, of sorts, if not an all-out retreat. Part of the reason so many of the Well-Knowns of the world keep coming backÑor move here outrightÑno doubt has to do with the fact that as famous as they are Out There, here in the City Different they can live life pretty much the same as other Santa Feans. Here, they can just be. Whether theyÕre world famous (Tom Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Gene Hackman) or just famous in their Þelds (Murray GellMann, David Morrell, Paul Allen), this is where anyone can just be . . . anyone else. And more often than not, they make lasting civic contributions. For example, Oscar-winning 1940s Þlm star Greer Garson, who lived part-time at her Pecos ranch for many years, funded construction of new buildings and scholarships for the College of Santa Fe, now called Santa Fe University of Art and Design. Longtime residents Shirley MacLaine and Ali MacGraw have donated their time and energy to many causes around town, as have Wes Studi and Val Kilmer. Our newest resident, Robert Redford, has collaborated with the state to set up Milagro at Los Luceros, just outside Espa ola, a locale for training programs in Þlm, arts, and the environment for New Mexico Hispanic and Native American Þlmmakers. Part of the cityÕs celebrity appeal stems from its longstanding relationship with Hollywood, a connection that has only deepened in the past 15 years. Building upon the generous Þlmmaking incentives Þrst enacted by his predecessor Gary Johnson in 1995, former Governor Bill Richardson (2004-2010) has been even more generous to and solicitous of Þlmmakers since taking ofÞce in 2003Ñranging from the hefty tax rebates to the no-interest loans. Add those perks to the aggressive training programs for residents and the stateÕs big skies and range of environments, and itÕs no wonder more than 150 major Þlm and TV projects have been shot here since 2003, pumping an estimated $2 billion into the stateÕs economy. Aside from past classics such as Easy Rider (1969) and The Milagro BeanÞeld War (1988), other Þlms shot in and/or around Santa Fe include the 2008 Academy Award for best picture, 48

the Coen BrothersÕ No Country for Old Men, Crazy Heart (2009), Wild Hogs (2007), Georgia OÕKeeffe (2009), and Appaloosa (2008). More recently, The Book of Eli, starring Denzel Washington, Þlmed here, as was Did You Hear About the Morgans?, True Grit, the Coen BrothersÕ remake of the John Wayne Western, and Thor. All of which came here to take advantage of the areaÕs archetypal Western landscapes, the old world look of its historic adobe architecture, the gorgeous local vistas, and the fact that New Mexico can stand in for Wyoming (the Morgans), New York (OÕKeeffe), or a post-apocalyptic future (Eli). As director Lawrence Kasdan, who Þlmed Silverado (1985) and Wyatt Earp (1994) in New Mexico, put it, Þlming here was incredible because Òevery day . . . the sky was putting on a show.Ó Still, itÕs not just the celluloid stars whoÕve fallen under Santa FeÕs spell. Inßuential 20th-century composer Igor Stravinsky maintained a long-running relationship with the Santa Fe Opera after directing a performance of his piece The RakeÕs Progress and assisting throughout the operaÕs 1957 opening season. ÒI think StravinskyÕs visit made us,Ó said Miranda Masocco Levy (a local opera supporter who Þrst invited the maestro to town) in a 2006 interview. ÒBecause of him, every newspaper and TV station from all over the world came.Ó Novelist Willa Cather wrote her 1927 Santa Fe classic, Death Comes for the Archbishop, during a stay at fellow writer Mary AustinÕs home on Canyon Road; Lew Wallace, governor of New Mexico Territory from 1878 to 1881, wrote Ben Hur in his Palace of the Governors ofÞce while concurrently leading the effort to bring Billy the Kid to justice; and Santa Fe Institute habitu and sometime Santa Fean Cormac McCarthy has written a good deal of his novels here, including his 2007 Pulitzer winner, The Road. As loaded as Santa Fe is with the rich and the famous, though, chances are just as good that if itÕs not Redford or Gell-Mann sitting right next to you in some caf , or chomping on a guacamoleand-salsa-laden fajita on a park bench at the Plaza, itÕs some other world-renowned superstar in their Þeld, and youÕll never even know it. Which is almost as cool a notion as knowing it.
