Inspiration for some Georgia O'Keefe's most famous landscapes; she was one of many famous faces that frequented the ranch
First climbing area we explored together, and we keep going back to it...
This 5.8 mile out and back trail up a mountain is not to be missed! You'll certainly feel the altitude as you start ascending from St. John's College. After a strenuous uphill hike, you'll have views of the Sange de Cristo Mountains and the Sandias + Albuquerque.
We've never been to this short-hike exploration to one of the largest collections of Native rock art (called glyphs) in the American West, but it's an Atlas Obscura recommendation.
Natalie and Brandon think this is a great spot for a healthy bite to eat and to catch up on some email.
Over Thanksgiving, we finally chanced on this Santa Fe institution empty...and it was such an enjoyable snack (though we're not sure how long we'd queue for it!)
If you like bourbon, come here. Try the "Abuelito", their bourbon and smoked tobacco cocktail!
Delicious and low-key, casual fare.
This is an amazingly well preserved Native American site, complete with a short hike and spectacular views of ancestral cliff dwellings.
Teleport back to the wild west by walking through this stunning canyon. This is also one of the premier sport climbing areas in New Mexico.
A great trail system in the heart of Santa Fe.
If you like art or are just looking for an interesting stroll, Canyon Road is well worth a visit. There are over 100 art galleries for you to enjoy, all pressed together on a charming street in the heart of town.
If you have wheels and time to spare, you can make the drive North to Taos Pueblo, one of the oldest continually inhabited communities in the United States. Make sure that they are open to visitors before you go, as it is not always open and a tour guide may be required.
