FINDDIFFERENT.OUTWHY Different

When you travel, at least one of your reasons is to immerse yourself in something different from what your hometown and daily lifestyle can offer. And you’ll achieve just that when you visit Santa Fe. The nickname is not a recent slogan born of consultants brainstorming in a conference room with a whiteboard, but of a rich and authentic history. In the early 1900s, the “City Beautiful Movement” was sweeping the United States and all state capitals were invited to join. Advocates were convinced that improved urban planning and architecture more representative of their communities would attract and readily ensconce new residents and tourists. In Santa Fe, city officials embarked on a different approach with the realization that it was already beautiful, and owned a unique and historic “Santa Fe Style” that just needed codifying. “The City Different” represented Santa Fe’s departure from the norm. In 1912, as New Mexico became a state, Santa Fe released a style preservation plan. Derived from its heritage, the prescribed Territorial and Spanish Pueblo Revival look that originated with the Pueblo Indians, the area’s first people, became a strong component of advertisements promoting the city as a unique tourist center of the Southwest. So, when you visit Santa Fe, consider the reasons that it’s different. One is certainly that it is still entranced and influenced by its past every day. Remarkably, this approach does not keep the city from modernizing or from growing, but helps it do both with purpose and intention.

The festival offerings don’t stop there: Plan way ahead to get your tickets for the Santa Fe Winter Arts Festival, February 10–19, 2023. A few of Santa Fe’s leading arts organizations, including Performance Santa Fe, Santa Fe Pro Musica, and The Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, invite you to attend exciting live performances spanning multiple genres of music, dance, and more. Now you can walk The City Different with even greater ease and pleasure. Conveniently located at the corner of Water Street and Don Gaspar near the historic Plaza, you can find multi-stall public restrooms. A welcome upgrade for a destination that enjoys 2.5 million visitors a year, many of whom could be on a scavenger hunt designed by the locals at DiscoverSantaFe (discoversantafe. us). Great for families, groups of friends, and work teams who are eager to learn more about Santa Fe and relish a collaborative, fun experience. It’s a mobile phone-based game that offers rich history, arts, and fun facts in travel-sized bites as you walk through town. With everything that 2022 brings, it’s either time to return or time for your first visit!

Just a block away, the New Mexico Museum of Art has expanded into a second exciting location called the Vladem Contemporary, which will feature contemporary and postwar artwork. The 35,000-square-foot exhibition space, a former 1930’s brickand-steel warehouse, allows for largescale installations, multimedia projects, education, and performance-based works that are central to 21st-century artistic practice. The architecture is equally 21st century! In pockets across The City Different and throughout the year, you can find Indigenous art and culture events related to Indigenous Celebration 2022, a coordinated initiative inspired by Santa Fe Indian Market’s Centennial and designed to reposition Indigenous art to its rightful place as the original American Art. The year 2022 also happens to be the 60th anniversary of the Institute of American Indian Arts, and the 50th anniversary of its contemporary Native arts museum, MoCNA. From big anniversaries to festivals. The very first Santa Fe Literary Festival opens on May 20 with a lineup of literati from near and far, including keynote speaker Colson Whitehead, Sandra Cisneros, George R.R. Martin, John Grisham, Joy Harjo, Douglas Preston, Lawrence Wright, and Valeria Luiselli, exploring an array of important societal issues through lunches, lectures, and walking tours.

YEAR OF GLASS

16

"Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Re-imagined in Glass” is a spectacular display of more than 100 works of glass art crafted by 33 Native artisans at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture on Museum Hill through June 16.

Glass is a fascinating art form that inspires, intrigues, and challenges both those who shape it and those who view it. Glass can be a liquid and a solid. It transforms light. Glass can be blown into various forms, cast from sculpted materials, and shaped in many other ways. It can be as tiny as small beads and as large as outdoor sculptures that tower over the viewer. Glass can tell stories, or inspire them to be told. It’s ubiquitous and critically important in “sectors such as aerospace, automotive industries, health care, and architecture,” yet not wholly acknowledged and appreciated for its role. To correct the record and raise awareness about the history and future of glass, the United Nations has declared 2022 to be the International Year of Glass. In the US, it is also the 60th anniversary of the studio glass movement—glass used as an artistic medium—said to have been started by Harvey Littleton, often called the “Father of the Studio Glass Movement.” He was the son of the head of research and development at Corning Glass Works, now a multinational technology company. Santa Fe, with its concentration of glass artists, will be at the center of New Mexico’s celebration of the International Year of Glass. Many of The City Different’s art galleries and museums will turn the spotlight on their glass offerings and feature special presentations by artists.

Other monumental events occuring in 2022 include the opening of two groundbreaking galleries at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, the 60th anniversary of the Institute of American Indian Arts, and the 50th anniversary of its contemporary Native arts museum, MoCNA. IC22 will highlight these and the many additional incredible Indigenous events and celebrations taking place in 2022, with a focal point being the Santa Fe Indian Market in August of 2022. Participate in the making of history and in support of acknowledging Indigenous art as the original American Art. Visit indigenouscelebration22.org.

More than a thousand years ago, Pueblo Indians, the area’s original people, established permanent communities on the land that is now Santa Fe’s Plaza and downtown. Though much has changed, the early influence of these Indigenous groups in Santa Fe remains integral to the ethos and pathos of The City Different. Among other traditions, such as Feast Days and ceremonial dances, these groups have nurtured, perfected, and prioritized their art. For years, Santa Fe has officially recognized this rich cultural contribution in many ways, among them, the establishment of the Indian Market, which, in 2022, is celebrating its Centennial! In honor of this historic anniversary and others, Indigenous Celebration New Mexico (IC22)—a coordinated initiative designed to encompass and promote all of New Mexico’s Indigenous arts and culture events in Santa Fe and other cities like Albuquerque, Gallup, and Taos—will propel Indigenous art to its rightful place as the original American Art.

WELCOME TO THE CITY THAT NEVER LOST ITS WAY

Formally founded in 1610 by Spanish conquistador Don Pedro de Peralta, Santa Fe (Spanish for holy faith) is the oldest state capital in the US.Miguel Chapel

HISTORY HISTORY San

The first road established by Europeans in the now United States—El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro—follows portions of Interstate 25 today. “The Royal Highway” allowed for trade and cultural exchange between Mexico City and The City Different. 25

Pueblo Indians occupied the downtown and Plaza areas as early as 1050, building settlements collectively named Ogapoge (Tewa for White Shell Water Place) with ready access to the Santa Fe River. Standing in the 412-yearold Plaza, you will find yourself gazing at the nation’s oldest public building—the Palace of the Governors, a treasure in the heart of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains (Spanish for blood of Christ). For the next 70 years, Spanish inhabitants and Franciscan missionaries subjugated and converted the Pueblo Indians, an Indigenous population of 100,000 people with nine distinct languages. In 1680, the peoples of 46 Pueblos joined forces in revolt, driving the Spanish colonists back to what is now the country of Mexico. Much of the city was burned in the uprising, and yet, the Palace of the Governors remained.

Just 12 years later, appointed Governor of New Mexico, Don Diego de Vargas, reconquered the region and grew the city, establishing a lasting Spanish presence. Battered by raids and revolts from the surrounding Indigenous nations and intent on maintaining its empire in Santa Fe, the Spanish pursued a policy of religious tolerance and coexistence with the Pueblo peoples. In 1821, Mexico gained independence from Spain and continued to retain control of Santa Fe until 1846, when, during the Mexican-American war, the United States government conquered the city and claimed the entire state. Two years later, New Mexico became a territory of the United States through the Treaty of Hidalgo Guadalupe, and in 1912, it achieved statehood.

HISTORY

109 East Palace

Santa Fe is really just a nickname—our big name is La Villa Real de la Santa Fé de San Francisco de Asís or The Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi. But you can just call us by our nickname. 26

In 1943, Los Alamos laboratory director J. Robert Oppenheimer rented this Spanish hacienda to house the administrative hub of the Manhattan Project under an assumed name. Today, you’ll have to look hard to find the plaque identifying its former notoriety, but it’s worth a hunt to reflect on what a difference several decades make. This top-secret location for welcoming and transferring scientists, engineers, and their families up to Los Alamos laboratory is now quite a public, vibrant place.

The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi Franciscan friars built the first church on this site at the time of the city’s founding in 1610. It was rebuilt in 1714, after the Pueblo Revolt, and named in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of Santa Fe. A few structural changes since, one somewhat original structure remains—a small adobe chapel dedicated to Our Lady La Conquistadora, DID YOU KNOW?

Historic Plaza

DABBLE IN SOME HISTORY

At 412 years old, this one-story adobe edifice in SpanishPueblo Revival style continues to have an illustrious life. The oldest building in the continental United States, erected for the colonial government, is now home to the New Mexico History Museum. A contemplative peruse through the Native American Artisans Portal Program is a must. Do not resist the desire to take an authentic piece home (nmhistorymuseum.org).

You need not be a history buff to love these opportunities to get to know Santa Fe better. Though its history has been punctuated by conflict and bloodshed, Santa Fe has come to embrace and passionately celebrate its disparate cultural roots, one reason it today flourishes as The City Different. (To learn more reasons, see page 10.)

Palace of the Governors on the Historic Plaza

Built on the site of a Pueblo ruin, the Plaza was Santa Fe’s nexus, hosting everything from revolts and conquests to a bustling venue for local commerce and trading. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark where the city hosts many celebrations, including the holiday tree lighting ceremony, live music, Indigenous dancing performances, Fiestas, and a city-wide annual 4th of July Pancake Breakfast.

Since 1607, several hotels have graced the current site of the La Fonda (Spanish for the inn), in its auspicious spot on the El Camino Real, but not until the early 1922 did it exhibit its relative current look in the Pueblo-Revivalist style under the influence of John Gaw Meem and Mary Elizabeth Jane Coulter. In 1925, when the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway leased the property to the hospitality magnate Fred Harvey Company, the hotel grew in popularity. Today, it remains a wildly popular destination for visitors and locals alike. Make sure you amble through to enjoy the interior details and consider a drink on the roof at the Bell Tower (lafondasantafe.com).

La Fonda on the Plaza

Santa Fe Railyard In 1880, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway pulled its first train into the Santa Fe depot, and a steady era of economic and social change ensued until just after World War II with the advent of the interstate highway system and airlines. Today, it is a hub again with the New Mexico Rail Runner Express trains to and from Albuquerque and Sky Railway hosting passengers on speciality trips to Lamy and back. While you can visit the original depot and the historic Gross Kelly Warehouse for a taste of the past, the visionary revitalization and transformation of the area will also move you. Enjoy a great meal, a movie, some art, or shop at the neighboring Farmers' Market. In the summer, live music rocks the Railyard (railyardsantafe.com).

San Miguel Chapel (the Oldest Church) History holds that the adobe structure in a location called Barrio de Analco (Spanish for neighborhood on the other side of the river ) was originally constructed in the early 1600s by Spanish-allied Tlaxcalan Indians from Mexico under the direction of Franciscan Padres. The present building dates from 1710, and over the years, the Oldest Church has hosted many congregations. Support of ongoing preservation efforts mean the completely adobe structure could last many more lifetimes (sanmiguelchapel.org).

Pueblo Feast Days, Santa Fe Fiestas, and other traditions have roots older than the United States, but newer traditions, such as the annual Burning of Zozobra—Old Man Gloom—and the Christmas Eve Canyon Road Farolito Walk have become equally representative of and important to Santa Fe. Within miles of The City DIfferent are eight Native American Pueblos, each with its own tribal council and customs, and yet all in the region share opinions, and appreciation of the same captivating mountain vistas and sunsets. And all have their own form of reverence for the land. And this land, with its diverse terrain and arid climate has, in part, bred and popularized Santa Fe’s vibrant outdoor culture. The award-winning clean air and 320+ days of sunshine annually add to solidifying The City Different as a gem for nature lovers, outdoor sports enthusiasts, and health devotees.

The Burning of Will Shuster’s Zozobra

santafe.org | 29 CULTURE

As a visitor, you’ll sense all of these aspects—as you sightsee, visit museums, shop, hike, and dine. Sometimes the diversity of Santa Fe’s culture will feel overt—all in one day, you might watch a Flamenco show, witness a performance at the world-acclaimed Santa Fe Opera, and experience a traditional Native American Pueblo dance. And sometimes the effect will be more subtle, in the way you are casually and warmly greeted by an open-air artist on the street. But it’s all part of the same thing—the culture of Santa Fe.

Over the last century, Santa Fe has attracted some of the world’s finest artists, writers, photographers, and filmmakers. Georgia O’Keeffe, Ansel Adams, Fritz Scholder, Cormac McCarthy, the Coen Brothers, and George R.R. Martin are among the countless creatives who have found inspiration in the Land of Enchantment. Intuitively they must know that freedom of creative expression is considered a right here; it is encouraged in every way possible.

The Eight Northern Pueblos are cultural treasures, and every Santa Fe visitor should see at least one of them. The history of Nambé (Nanbé Owingeh), Ohkay Owingeh (formerly San Juan), Picurís, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Taos, and Tesuque Pueblos dates back more than a thousand years.

In 1598, Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate began colonizing what is now Northern New Mexico. When Catholic missionaries arrived in the early 1600s, they renamed Pueblos with saints’ names, built churches, and introduced Feast Days to celebrate the patron saints of Pueblo Catholic MostMissions.Feast Days are open to the public and are popular. The ceremonies incorporate Pueblo spiritual practices (special dances) and Catholic ones. Today, some also include processions or other Therefeatures.aremany other seasonal celebrations and special events, such as arts and crafts fairs.

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day feature traditional dances, and perhaps a torchlight parade or Los Matachines dance-drama. Guests should familiarize themselves with Pueblo visitor etiquette rules. Ask permission before taking photos of any kind, and prior to sketching or painting a fee or permit may be required. Respect restricted areas, which are generally considered sacred. Also respect private homes. Remain silent during dances and ceremonies and do not applaud. Don’t climb on structures or take anything from the land with you as a souvenir Do not expect events to begin or end on time. With the exception of Picurís and Taos, all Eight Northern Pueblos are within 30 miles of Santa Fe. Each has its own history, unique structures, crafts, and events.

“Red, green, or Christmas?” is a question you should expect to be asked when you order New Mexican fare. This does not represent curiosity about your favorite color or holiday—your server is asking you our official state question. In other words, what is your preference in chile?! We take this question very, very seriously, in large part because chile production has a significant impact on New Mexico’s economy. In 2020, New Mexico produced 68,000 tons chile, with an estimated value of $52 million, making it the top cash crop in the state.

How should I answer "Red, green, or Christmas?"

Most of the magic happens 250 miles to Santa Fe’s south in the “Chile Capital of the World,” Hatch, New Mexico. Across the state, restaurant owners and individuals alike eagerly await the arrival of the autumn crop to replenish their troves.

So what makes a chile red or green, and how are they processed?

Farmer Matt Romero roasting chile at the Santa Fe Farmers' Market Santa Fe School of Cooking

It’s all about timing: Red chiles are simply green chiles that have remained on the vine longer and ripened fully. However, once picked, these two chiles are processed very differently. Green chile is typically roasted as a fresh whole chile, then peeled, and served diced. Red chile is dried and processed into chile powder, then cooked into a thick roux-based sauce. Meat-based stock is often used to make chile sauce—be sure to ask your server. Find chile in unsuspecting spots Chile appears in foods and drinks where you might not expect to find it, and its excellent, fresh kick will likely surprise and delight you. Be adventurous—seek the green chile apple pie, cheesecake, cornbread, and other freshly baked breads at the Santa Fe Farmers' Market. Or enliven your taste buds with a green chile Cobb salad or mac and cheese. Red chile powder might appear in pumpkin soup, chocolate truffles, chocolate ice cream, jelly, margaritas or martinis, while red chile flakes might adorn the top of vanilla-frosted cupcakes or add a palate-pleasing note to dark chocolate. with an “e”

For the uninitiated, heat may be what determines your selection. Neither red nor green is consistently hotter. Because most local restaurants prepare their chiles in-house, each stop on your dining tour will have its own version of this New Mexico staple. Ask your server which option packs the most punch. If heat isn’t driving your decision, your response to the official state question ought to be “Christmas,” meaning a combination of green and red, perfect for those seeking the best of both worlds.

Eat it like a local Ask any local which restaurant to visit for the best chile, and you had better be prepared to take some notes! Ask any local how much chile they eat, and the answer is invariably, “tons!” Ask how hot they like it, and you might be surprised by the passion you witness. It is a thing! Come autumn, most households have purchased their roasted green chile for the year, and it’s stored and stacked in individual bags in their freezer. Their powdered red chile can be found in the cupboard, marked mild, medium, or hot. Clearly chile is a staple here in Santa Fe, and it can be so in your hometown! Want to take home some freshly roasted chile as a spicy reminder of your visit? Plan your next trip to The City Different at fall harvest time and bring an empty cooler. And when at the Santa Fe Farmers' Market or a local grocery store, pick up some red chile powder or flakes, a

We all have our preferred burger toppings— bacon and blue cheese or classic lettuce, onion, and tomato—but in Santa Fe nothing tops off a perfectly cooked cheeseburger like green chile, so much so that The City Different has an annual competition known as the Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown to determine which local eatery will reign supreme.

Served on a platter the only conveyance that could tame this feast the Huevos Rancheros (Spanish for rancher’s eggs) is fit for a ravenous sightseer. Generally built on the foundation of fried corn tortillas, an egg is prepared to your wishes and doused in red or green chile (or “Christmas”) amid a healthy dose of refried or whole black or pinto beans, and topped with salty, crumbly cotija cheese. Garnish can be diced tomatoes, iceberg lettuce, or avocado slices. Although Huevos Rancheros’ roots are in rural Mexico, this hearty meal appears everywhere!

The City Different has long been a margarita hotspot, but this spicy addition to the classic salted rim releases your endorphins before quenching the fire with delicious lime and tequila goodness.

TO ENJOY FARM-FRESH,

Agriculture continues to play a large role in New Mexico’s economy. In fact, it is the state’s third-largest industry with the Census of Agriculture reporting 25,044 farms in the Land of Enchantment. That’s a lot of farmers, and many of them operate successful niche farms within 100 miles or fewer of Santa Fe. Since the late 1960s and the early days of the farm-to-table movement, farmers have gathered on Saturdays in the capital city of Santa Fe to sell their produce. And today is no different, except that now more than 150 vendors gather each Saturday year-round in their very own building and space at the Santa Fe Railyard. (A robust market happens on Tuesdays, too.)

Artist-led events and outdoor festivals, including the annual Christmas Eve Farolito Walk, add to the magic of this historic neighborhood, while small eateries, cafes, and award-winning, fine-dining restaurants ensure that visitors of Canyon Road stay nourished and lively as they peruse the widest variety of art Santa Fe has to offer.

The Historic Santa Fe Foundation: The mission is to preserve, protect, and promote the historic properties and diverse cultural heritage of the Santa Fe area. In 1854, James Johnson connected building upon building here to house his large family. A new owner in the 20th century dubbed this property El Zaguan (Spanish term for a passage or hallway). Visit for the long view on Santa Fe through images and archives, and for a meander in the colorful, storied garden, with history and green thumb attention dating back to the 1890s (historicsantafe.org).

SEE & DO

Gormley Lane: For a nice and historic jaunt, take this narrow street over to the beautiful neighborhood along Acequia Madre. In 1903, Frank Gormley opened his general store here, and the warehouses are still extant.

Baca Street District: Reach this renewed, former industrial area via the charming and urban Acequia Trail, which is lined by the flowing Acequia Madre and old-growth elms to the west and New Mexico School for the Deaf to the east. Start at the end of Railyard Park through the blue underpass that runs below busy St. Francis Road. In a short mile, you’ll find the bustling Baca Street District—shops, restaurants, contemporary retail outlets, and artist live-work spaces.

Santa Fe Rail Trail: This 18-mile trail follows the historic Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway line to Lamy. The first 3.5 miles are asphalt. Be prepared with the proper bike for the rolling, rocky remainder.

SEE & DO SITE Santa Fe: A tall order, but its goal is to present “the most innovative visual art of our time in new and engaging ways.” Carve out a few hours for an exhibition, a lecture, or a show (sitesantafe.org).

Contemporary lofts, galleries, and museums mark the neighboring Railyard and Guadalupe districts, home to the Santa Fe Farmers' Market, Violet Crown Cinema, and many of Santa Fe’s most popular restaurants and pubs. The Railyard Artisan Market and Santa Fe Artists Market, along with El Museo Mercado and a spread of small local shops, make this an optimal neighborhood for shopping as well. The 10-acre Railyard Park offers community gardens and two outdoor performance spaces (one with sumptuous green grass), both the perfect setting for a family picnic. Adjacent to the Santa Fe Depot—the northern terminus of the New Mexico Rail Runner Express commuter line and once the end of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway line—is the New Mexico School for the Arts, a state-chartered high school. Take a look at how its architecture has incorporated the former Sanbusco Market Center, a busy building supply warehouse from the late 1800s.

SOUTHSIDE Santa Fe’s Southside meets many local residents’ dining, shopping, and daily living needs. Outlet stores, national chains, and family-friendly restaurants, and lodging are balanced with pockets of residential neighborhoods and grassy community parks, complete with playgrounds and other recreational options. The Southside is also home to Santa Fe Regional Airport. The neighborhood’s main artery, Cerrillos Road, connects downtown Santa Fe to the Southside and beyond, linking the city to the artist communities of Cerrillos and Madrid on the Turquoise Trail. This makes for the perfect scenic route to Albuquerque as well.

A bit of shoptalk for you—the elegant name is an acronym hailing from its planning days (Southwest Area Nodule). There is a lot of green space, a paved walking trail, a baseball field, basketball courts, and a playground. And it features a special addition only 10 other cities nationwide have received—a Keith Haring Outdoor Fitness Court. An 18-hole disc golf course is coming soon.

Jackalope: Established in 1976, and one of only two like it, this vast open-air marketplace of eclectic rugs, home decor, pottery, fountains, novelties, and more is worth a visit, particularly if you reached Santa Fe by car because you may easily find yourself “needing” a bit of everything!

While a trip to Santa Fe is the ideal way to experience the charm and authenticity of The City Different, it’s not always a possibility. In between in-person visits, you can check out the Santa Fe Marketplace online platform. It's brimming with unique products from local artists and retailers, including apparel and accessories, art, collectibles, books, food and beverages, sports and outdoors, home décor and garden, and more. Everyone relishes a memento, souvenir, or some special piece that reminds them of their memorable, perhaps life-changing time spent away from home. It’s so fun to retell the tales of your visit through the scarf around your shoulders, that painting on your wall, the cookbook you’ve used to build your Northern New Mexico menus. And this is just what the Santa Fe Marketplace is designed to help with. Through the user-friendly website, you can find one-stop shopping and the convenience of a vast array of products, as well as the satisfaction of knowing every dollar spent goes to Santa Fe businesses you love. Check out Santa Fe Marketplace before you actually arrive in Santa Fe, so you can plot which stores you’ll want to visit when you’re here. Or did you forget to buy something or wish you had gotten a second item for a friend? Do you regret not buying that special item you almost purchased?

OUTDOORSBiking Aspen Vista Trail

The City Different and the county in which it resides offer a wondrous outdoor playground to be discovered. Amid the towering Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east, the Rio Grande Valley to the south and west, and the Jemez Mountains for your sunsets, enthusiasts can often ski, bike, hike, fish, and paddle all in the same week.

OUTDOORS

SNOWSPORTS Located just 16 miles from the heart of downtown, Ski Santa Fe offers some of the finest ski slopes in the Southwest, and some of the fluffiest snow. With a base elevation of 10,350 feet and a peak elevation of 12,075 feet, Ski Santa Fe offers expansive vistas of all the beauty that is Northern New Mexico, plus terrain for every skill level with 83 actual trails (more if you make your own through the trees!). The rental shop is well equipped, as is the onsite retail shop. Choose from two eateries with outdoor decks for soaking in the rays while refueling with delicious regional dishes.

Love snowy sports, but prefer no lift? Park at Ski Santa Fe and access the Winsor Trail for miles of wilderness snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Just down the road toward town, try the two-mile Norski loop, designated for the cross-country skier only. Close by is the out-and-back Aspen Vista Trail, wide with a gradual grade, perfect for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. Or for fun with kiddos of any age, Hyde Memorial State Park, located halfway between downtown and Ski Santa Fe, sports a sledding and tubing hill sure to put a smile on the young thrill-seeker.

santafe.org | 75

From the mountain slopes of Ski Santa Fe to the foothill trails of Santa Fe’s Dale Ball Trail system and the waterways of Northern New Mexico, there is an abundance of beautiful terrain for you to enjoy, all under blue skies. So take advantage of the clean, clear air, and get your personal adventure started.

Ski Santa Fe was chosen by readers of Condė Nast Traveler as one of The Top Ski Resorts in the US. Ski Santa Fe

OUTDOORS Hiking Sun Mountain 76

The Chamisa Trail, just a 15-minute drive from downtown in the direction of Ski Santa Fe, delivers National Forest access and the ponderosa pines and aspens that come with it. You may really begin to feel the altitude on this trail, but it’s a nice, gradual grade, and offers the option of an ample loop.

In the fall, the aptly named Aspen Vista Trail (more of a fire road) is the path to take to bathe in the turning aspens and catch views of the whole valley aglow. It’s about 6.5 miles to the top, but an easy out and back for turning around at any point.

TRAILS FOR HIKING Santa Fe is a very pedestrian-friendly city, but for many, the extensive trails in and around The City Different are the preferred places to get in those steps. From foothills to mountain peaks, Santa Fe County has more than 300 miles of hiking trails for the outdoor enthusiast to explore.

The Dale Ball Trail system offers 24 miles of hiking with access points throughout the foothill neighborhoods east of downtown, including the popular Sierra del Norte parking lot or as locals call it, The Corral. You will find handy permanent maps at various trail junctions, so you can always find a way to extend or shorten your jaunt.

To access the numerous trails on Atalaya Mountain, your best bet is to park in the lot at the entrance to St. John’s College. Plot your course using the map at the trailhead. Go a bit afield and travel the Turquoise Trail to Cerrillos Hills State Park, just 16 miles from Santa Fe. Along five miles of gently sloping trails with views of Sandia, Ortiz, Jemez, and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges, there are shuttered silver, copper, manganese, iron, galena, and gold mines, all explained with interpretive signs.

Easy to Difficult: The private Glorieta Adventure Camps, just 22 from Santa Fe, offer public access to 20 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails for moderate to advanced fitness and experience levels. Roll along through aspen stands, pine forests, and granite canyons with views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Glorieta

Easy to Moderate:

Baldy. Parking is at the Baptist Bypass Trailhead. Good for hiking, too.

For those desiring to ride at higher elevations, the beloved Blue Bus offers shuttle service to trailheads along Hyde Park Road, concluding at Ski Santa Fe. The lengthy and varied Winsor Trail holds a big draw for the more experienced rider. If road cycling, enjoy miles of scenic vistas, including a 16-mile one-way spin up to Ski Santa Fe at a peak elevation of 10,350 feet or a distance along the Turquoise Trail on the way to Cerrillos or Madrid or through Galisteo Basin.

santafe.org | 77

TRAILS FOR BIKING

Moderate to Difficult:

Try Santa Fe’s La Tierra Trail system, an expansive 25 miles of trails, pump tracks, and jump courses that were once part of the 31,000-acre Buckman Ranch. This is a great option for riding in the cooler months because the elevation is on par with the city’s, and therefore a bit warmer. There are three distinct parking lots/trailheads— Cuchara (Spanish meaning spoon ), Calabasas (Spanish meaning squash), Frijoles (Spanish meaning beans)—each one offering different access to the same great system of trails. Nice for walking, too.

Easy: The 18-mile out-and-back Rail Trail, part asphalt and part dirt, can be enjoyed with a ruggedish mountain bike, and the whole family. If you ride the length, along the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, you’ll end up in Lamy, but you can turn around at any point and make the trip any length you desire. Good for walking, too.

A quick look at the number of bike shops in Santa Fe should suggest biking is a wholly embraced activity in these parts. All of them will rent to you, but it’s best to call ahead and reserve what you need as the popularity of this sport has only increased.

Just 14 miles from Santa Fe, with views of the Ortiz Mountains, explore more than 40 miles of thoughtfully designed trails in the Galisteo Basin Preserve (formerly Thornton Ranch), developed by Commonweal Conservancy. This area represents “the largest publicly accessible, privately owned trail network in the American Southwest” and it’s easily navigable through the sandstone, grasslands, and arroyos with trail maps at most junctures. Park in any lot for different access points to the entire system. Great for hiking, too.

MarketWatch selected Santa Fe one of the “The best little cities to live if you love the outdoors.”

The Special Trout Waters of the Pecos River and Rio Chama offer pristine fly fishing through conifer forests and red-rock canyon, respectively. As does the stretch of the water in the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River, located within the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. With its shade and easy access, Monastery Lake is the perfect family fishing destination. And Cowles Ponds are designated for children under the age of 12. There are plenty of local guiding companies to put you on the stretch of water most suited to your interests.

FISH For the angler, opportunities to fly fish in freshwater lakes, ponds, small streams, and rivers are plentiful. You might be surprised to learn that the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish regularly stocks some non-native species, including rainbow, brown, brook, and lake trout, as well as kokanee salmon. Should you catch the two species native to New Mexico, the Rio Grande cutthroat trout and the Gila trout, consider yourself special.

BOAT When people think of New Mexico, waterways are typically not the first thing that comes to mind. But the local water enthusiasts know that paddling/rafting and fishing abound in the Land of Enchantment. Tubing is a blast as well, particularly on a few-mile stretch of the Rio Grande from the Taos Junction bridge to the town of Pilar or on a stretch of the Rio Chama below the Abiqui ú dam, where a whitewater wave feature has kayakers flocking. The Rio Grande and Rio Chama offer paddlers a diverse selection of half-day, full-day, and multi-day trips, ranging from mellow Class I to technical Class IV rapids sure to put even the most experienced paddler to the test. There are plenty of local guiding companies to put you on the stretch of water most suited to your interests.

Regardless, we appreciate and applaud the past, and continue to build on our experiences with this fantastic and storied spirit in the present.

“Kentucky has its bourbon. Napa Valley has wine. And, Santa Fe has margaritas— darn good ones, too.”

That buzz in your margarita has a long and wildly disputed history, as does the margarita itself! While origin stories do tend to vary, there is one piece of the tale on which we can all agree—tequila is distilled from the extracted sugars of the heart of the blue agave plant.

Margarita’s Origin Stories

The theories number in the dozens. One consideration: Margarita is Spanish for daisy, and a daisy is a common drink combination of any alcohol, lime or lemon juice, and a sweet liquid. Or was the hostess’ name Margarita? Or was the cocktail named after the girlfriend of the first imbiber? Or was Margarita the bartender? Yes, yes, and yes. Even Santa Fe’s resident expert Al Lucero, author of The Great Margarita Book: A Handbook with Recipes, shares a half-dozen explanations for our amusement. (You receive an autographed copy of this book when you’ve earned 20 stamps on the Margarita Trail.)

Some tales corroborate that the fermented juices of the agave were once used by the Aztecs for religious ceremonies and medicinal practices, and then, fast forward, doubledistilled in the 1600s by the Spanish in the town of Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. In the 1700 and 1800s, came commercial distillation and distribution with the brand-name families you likely know—José Cuervo and Don Sauza. According to many sources, José Cuervo introduced tequila to New Mexico at the turn of the 20th century. Gracias!

NORTHERN NEW MEXICO DAY TRIPS TO ENRICH YOUR SANTA FE STAY El Santuario de Chimayo Taos PuebloLas Vegas Cowboy Reunion Parade Los Alamos, Manhattan Project National Historic Park Bandelier National Monument TRUEMexicoNewTRUEMexicoNew 86

Located 45 minutes south of Santa Fe, KashaKatuwe Tent Rocks National Monument offers visitors a full immersion into the geological processes that shape the unique natural landscapes found across Northern New Mexico. The coneshaped tent rock formations, created by volcanic eruptions that occurred more than six million years ago present an otherworldly hiking experience.

In New Mexico, Old Spain is still very much alive along the High Road to Taos. On the scenic 56mile route that winds through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, stop at Chimayó, a town known for generations of legendary weavers and for El Santuario de Chimayó. Sugar Nymphs Bistro in Peñasco is the perfect lunch stop, and the massive adobe walls of San Francisco de Asis Church in Ranchos de Taos are a must-stop photo-op. Once in Taos proper, grab a cup of joe at World Cup Cafe, amble through the shops on lively Bent Street and take a spin around the Plaza, then consider a diversion up to the sweet village of Arroyo Seco, where you can refresh yourself with one of Taos Cow’s all-natural, housemade ice cream treats.

TRUEMexicoNew

The 1.2 mile Cave Loop Trail is rated an easy walk, while the more difficult 1.5 mile Canyon Trail offers a steep climb to the mesa top, yielding stellar views of the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez, and Sandia mountains. Visitors take note that pets are not allowed within Tent Rocks. Los Alamos Home of Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Manhattan Project’s historical development of the Atomic Bomb during World War II, Los Alamos is also the gateway to three different National Parks: Manhattan Project National Historical Park, Bandelier National Monument, and Valles Caldera National Preserve. Visitors can get a glimpse into the workings of the National Laboratory via the Bradbury Science Museum, and if you’ve more of an appetite, learn about the ancient and recent history of the town and surrounding area at the Los Alamos History Museum. The Pajarito Environmental Education Center is perfect for kids with myriad interactive exhibits, hosted hikes, and planetarium shows!

Make your day trip a loop by taking the Low Road back to Santa Fe, stopping in the villages of Dixon or Embudo along the way.

Turquoise Trail: Cerrillos and Madrid Head south down Highway 14, also known as the Turquoise Trail, to the neighboring artist communities of Cerrillos and Madrid for a perfectly quaint, and sometimes quirky New Mexico town experience. Madrid’s watering hole, the Mine Shaft Tavern, offers visitors and locals alike live music, drinks, and dining. Learn about the region’s history of mining for gold, silver, and turquoise at the Cerrillos Turquoise Mining Museum, located within the Casa Grande Trading Post in Los Cerrillos, a fun stop for artifacts, relics, and gems—also, a mini petting zoo of sorts! Las Vegas Once the largest community in the Southwest due to the railroad, Las Vegas is 65 miles east of Santa Fe. It’s a history buff’s dream with 900 buildings on the Historic Registry and two beautifully restored historic hotels—the Plaza Hotel (circa 1882) on the original Plaza and the Castañeda (circa 1898, a Fred Harvey Hotel) on the rail. Stop in for a bite or stay the night. Bridge Street offers some great shopping, Storrie Lake some fun fishing or canoeing, nearby Hermit’s Peak some excellent hiking, and on the way, check out that castle you can see from the road—it houses United World College, a former resort.

DAY TRIPS SkiMadridAbiquiúSanta Fe 88

Abiquiú Take a drive and discover the iconic rock formations of Abiquiú—a source of inspiration for generations of photographers, filmmakers, and artists, like Georgia O’Keeffe! Stop off at Ghost Ranch Education & Retreat Center to hike among many of the vistas she painted before heading to Abiquiú Dam & Lake Recreation Area for a refreshing dip. Roam the white rock formations of Plaza Blanca, another popular hiking area, or through the Benedictine Monastery of Christ in the Desert, nestled next to the Rio Chama Wild and Scenic River, offering pristine surroundings for a self-directed retreat.

FAMILY OUTING Ski Santa Fe’s Fall Activities

On your way, stop at the difficult-to-find trailhead of Tsankawi (a part of Bandelier). Grab a map at the entrance to draw your attention to interesting spots along the way. Use caution when hiking Tsankawi—this challenging trail is exposed in some areas, so ensure the weather is thunderstorm free.

Take the whole fam up to Ski Santa Fe to participate in their fall activities. The Super Chief Quad chairlift ride takes you to 11,250 feet, offering expansive views of changing aspen groves, distant cottonwoods, and New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains to the west of Santa Fe. Disc golf, a beer garden, grill, and live music round out this great day trip option, just 30 minutes from downtown.

GIRLS TRIP Natural Hot Springs

Just outside of Jemez Springs lie the San Antonio Hot Springs, a trio of crystal-clear pools that offer a pleasantly heated soak after a solid drive or hike in. Another good option in the area is Spence Hot Springs. Up around Taos, in the town of Arroyo Hondo, the intrepid make the short hike in to the Black Rock Hot Springs, which sit shimmering on the Rio Grande. These two pools are clothing optional. You may need to be patient for your chance to take a dip, so it’s fortunate that the river is a beautiful spot for waiting.

Spring, summer, and fall, you can find a handful of nearby Northern New Mexico communities hosting seasonal art studio tour events. Taos, Abiquiú, Dixon, and Galisteo are just a few of the many artist communities that support annual weekend-long studio tours. Artists open their workspaces to the public, offering them a rare glimpse of their creative habitat. Beyond supporting artists directly, these festivals present the perfect excuse for exploring more of the natural beauty that is Northern New Mexico. Not up for a drive? Schedule your trip during the annual Santa Fe Studio Tour and explore artist studios within The City Different.

There is no shortage of amazing hot spring resorts in Northern New Mexico, but the more adventurous at heart may want to soak in a naturally occurring, free-to-the-public hot spring.

Just one stunning hour from Santa Fe, you’ll find the ancient cliffside dwellings within Bandelier National Monument. Meander the main Pueblo Loop Trail and you will discover an 850-year-old Ancestral Pueblo metropolis. Popular stops along the trail include Big Kiva and Alcove House, a large recess resting 140 feet above the floor of Frijoles Canyon accessed by climbing four wooden ladders. Breathtaking views and a reconstructed kiva offer a taste of what life was like for the 25 residents of this historic high-rise.

Don’t want to drive to the top? Stop off at Hyde Memorial State Park or Aspen Vista picnic area for a bite to eat and an amble through the aspens along a wide and gently rising trail. santafe.org |

“Our annual La Cosecha Conference attracts 3,500–4,000 participants whenever Santa Fe is the hosting city. We hold hundreds of meetings at more than a dozen locations within blocks of the historic downtown Plaza. Participants move with ease while enjoying the beautiful and enchanting destination. We’ll never turn down Santa Fe!”

Organizers Say

“Our organization has been meeting in Santa Fe since the late 1980s. Whether we bring 100 people or more than a thousand, our members love it. TOURISM Santa Fe is a pleasure to work with. They have great connections with all the properties, and know all the fun stuff to do. The art, restaurants, local flavor, and the outdoor mecca are a huge draw to both our domestic and global membership. We love Santa Fe—its people, its charm, and its hospitality.”

MEETWHATFOUNDATIONMEETINGDIFFERENT

Thank you to the leadership and staff of each of the hotels, restaurants, museums, galleries, sites, and attractions we visited. There is so much to see and do! Beforehand, the largest barrier for me was the distance from Albuquerque, but I would much rather move quickly through gorgeous country than crawl through traffic in a larger city. I will look for opportunities to come back.”

The entire staff at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center is by far the best team I have worked with during my 13 years in the conference business. The sales team is professional, always responsive, starting with Yes as their answer to our questions. The on-site crew is dependable and timely with our requests from hundreds of attendees. I can wholeheartedly recommend the SFCCC for your next event.”

• Check in with your young ones. Kids, toddlers, and babies are not necessarily able to communicate symptoms of altitude sickness. Fussiness could be an indication.

• Hydrate! Your body loses water through respiration at high altitude twice as fast as at sea level. The Institute for Altitude Medicine recommends you consume an additional 50 ounces of water per day.

The City Different sits at a glorious 7,000 feet in elevation above sea level. The views are abundant, but oxygen less so. Also, your exposure to ultraviolet rays is significantly greater. Take these easy precautions to thoroughly enjoy your visit to The City Different.

• Acclimatize! Avoid overexertion in your first 1 to 2 days.

• Vacation is a time to celebrate, but ease up on the alcohol consumption as it lowers your blood oxygen levels.

• Apply sunscreen liberally and don a brimmed hat. For every thousand feet of elevation, your exposure increases by 6 to 10 percent. Winter sports enthusiasts beware—rays bouncing off the snow can be pretty intense.

• Minor high-altitude sickness can be only mildly annoying, and typically resolves on its own. Be watchful of the symptoms and treat accordingly— headache, fatigue, lack of appetite, nausea, rapid heart rate, insomnia, vomiting. (You needn’t anticipate severe symptoms unless you are climbing way up into the mountains.)

santafe.org | 107 PLAN YOUR TRIP

While a vehicle might be essential for seeing what greater Northern New Mexico offers, it is not a necessity when spending time in Santa Fe. Much of The City Different is accessible by foot, though road, mountain, and electric bicycle rentals are also available from multiple local retailers. Need to pop over to Guadalupe Street from the Plaza? In the downtown area, hail a Santa Fe Pedicab (505-577-5056, santafepedicabs.com) and let your “chauffeur” do the pedaling.

When the destination is farther than your own two feet can take you, take Santa Fe Trails (505-955-2001, santafenm.gov/transit), bus transportation offering multiple and farther-reaching city routes for a nominal fee. The RTD Blue Bus (ncrtd.org) also offers transportation throughout Santa Fe and the surrounding area, with the Mountain Trail route providing hikers, bikers, and winter sports enthusiasts access to Santa Fe National Forest and the Ski Santa Fe ski area.

IN-PERSON INFO AROUND TOWN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

If you have time to travel, nothing beats crossing the country by train. Amtrak’s Southwest Chief (amtrak. com/southwest-chief-train) line runs from Chicago to Los Angeles, stopping in Lamy, 18 miles outside of Santa Fe. Arrange for a private or group charter from the train depot into town in advance through RoadRunneR (505-424-3367, rideroadrunner.com). Or, from Albuquerque, relax on the scenic journey north via the New Mexico Rail Runner Express (riometro.org) commuter rail, which offers ADA-compliant accommodations.

Trailer Ranch RV Resort

A campfire can be one of the best parts of camping, or provide necessary warmth to hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts. Just don’t forget your responsibility to maintain and extinguish it to prevent wildfires. Remember, if it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave.
