Things To Do
Ojo Caliente
Ojo Caliente is our favorite spot for hot springs. It is an hour drive from Santa Fe, and well worth the trip! They have a second location within Santa Fe city limits called Ojo Santa Fe if you aren’t able to make the trip to the original. They have multiple different springs of different temperatures and containing different minerals.
Atalaya Mountain
Beautiful, moderate 6.2 mile hike whose trailhead can be found at St. John's College with views of Santa Fe and the Jemez Mountains to the West.
Ski Santa Fe
Visit the Santa Fe ski basin, a 30 minute drive, for summer hikes in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Our favorites are Aspen Vista Trail, Big Tesuque, and Windsor.
San Antonio Hot Springs
Another of our favorite hot springs in New Mexico - this is a better trip if you have a half or full day free and a car to drive to the trailhead. Hike in and you’ll be rewarded with multiple pools on the side of a hill!
Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
Visit this art museum near the Santa Fe plaza highlighting Georgia O'Keeffe and the New Mexico landscape that inspired her work.
Meow Wolf Santa Fe
Interactive art collective that is truly bizarre and very unique. Alex still hasn't been despite being a Santa Fesino!
Los Poblanos
Located in Albuquerque, this lavender farm is one of Claire's favorite places in New Mexico. Go see the blooming lavender, see the peacocks wandering the property, and get a margarita or a bite to eat at Campo, their farm to table-style restaurant on the property.
Santa Fe Farmers Market
Visit on Saturday mornings for fresh produce, baked goods, and chile.
Vinaigrette
We love this restaurant for fresh salads.
Opuntia Cafe
Lovely local coffee shop with beautiful plants.
The Pantry
The best breakfast in Santa Fe.
Tomasita's
Our favorite New Mexican restaurant that promises to be featured at the reception dinner.
