"Do You Know the Way to Santa Fe? You... " a Santa Fe Travel Page by richiecdisc

Santa Fe is full of surprises. The highest and oldest capital in the United States, it boasts a climate other cities would die for with over 300 days a year of sun and enough snow to have a ski season from Thanksgiving to Easter. Hiking and biking are popular year around but its exceptional outdoor activity opportunities speak of only one facet of the charming capital of New Mexico. Bestowed a UNESCO Creative City designation, one of only nine in the world, the colorful city is doted with sculptures, frescos, and galleries. It is the third largest seller of art work in the United States. It makes an ideal base from which to explore the entire north of the enchanted state, being within easy striking distance of Taos and Albuquerque, not far off famed Route 66 if you are traveling west. If southwest cuisine is on your agenda, look no further. Santa Fe is fast becoming the gourmet capital of the southwest too. Just don't get too bored with the blue skies omnipresent overheard, they make for great contrast to the red adobe buildings sure to beguile even the jaded traveler.
