Santa Fe Food Carts

Santa Fe Red — Tue, 15 May 2012 21:28:56 +0000

Santa Fe, NM, is definitely a town on the radar of foodies everywhere for fine dining and unique regional cuisine. But sometimes, a street snack is just what the tummy ordered. Given the significantly smaller size of the City Different, it hasn’t graduated to the status of another state capitol, Austin, TX with its impressive [...]

Happy Mother’s Day from Santa Fe

A Blessing To Mothers Everywhere! And to every single man, woman and child who loves them, we wish a joyous and loving Mother’s Day holiday spent with that most special lady in their lives.

Springtime in the Rockies

The Santa Fe Naturalist — Mon, 07 May 2012 17:52:23 +0000

It seems like I was just writing about icy trails and late winter snowshoeing, but suddenly there’s been a change of scene and the mountains are stirring with new life and issuing invitations to have a walk. The snow has vanished from the middle elevations of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and many of our [...]

Santa Fe Living, Water Loving!

Santa Fe Red — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:06:23 +0000

Earth Day 2012 found us thinking about water, especially since the Santa Fe River has a gentle flow right now, thanks to the late spring snows and subsequent melt that we have so fortunately received. The Inn has a perfect Santa Fe location right across from the river, so we are participants in the Adopt-a-River [...]

Santa Fe Independent Bookstores!

Santa Fe Red — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:25:24 +0000

In an age where we’ve become inured to the news of one huge company swallowing up another, a streak of independence will shine brightly. While Amazon may be convenient, there is nothing quite like walking into a bookstore to hold a book and leaf through it before buying. Santa Fe has always been a book-loving town, [...]

Looking out over Santa Fe

The Santa Fe Naturalist — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:57:41 +0000

In keeping with the theme of “short hikes near Santa Fe” I have another suggestion for those of you with only a little time to spare for a walk in the woods: a section of the Dale Ball Trails up as far as a rocky ledge on the flanks of Picacho Peak with a great [...]

Santa Fe Art & Poetry at the Community Gallery

Santa Fe Community Gallery, 201 West Marcy Street, Santa Fe, NM Hours: Tue-Fri 10a-5p, Sat 10a-4p through June 8, 2012 Did you know that the Santa Fe Community Convention Center includes a Community Gallery? It’s a nice little secret to discover, especially since it provides a venue for artists who might otherwise not have an [...]

Bear Canyon

The Santa Fe Naturalist — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 22:52:12 +0000

Springlike weather has reached high-altitude Santa Fe at last, creating that notorious restlessness that has you planting seeds in the garden too early and heading out to hiking trails up in the mountains still treacherous with ice. There are plenty of walks closer to town to enjoy, however, when you feel that urge to get [...]

Santa Fe Visits SXSW Austin Texas!

Santa Fe Red — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:58:28 +0000

We have always appreciated our Texas visitors, with their relaxed and congenial appreciation of all that Santa Fe has to offer, so when we had the chance to go straight to the source, we jumped right in! SXSW may have been a rather wild introduction to the pleasures of a fellow state capitol, but it [...]

Late Snow and Winter Walks

The Santa Fe Naturalist — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 16:28:09 +0000

Although the calendar says Spring is almost here, someone forgot to tell Mother Nature, and this past weekend she gave another touch up to the 155 inches of snow (!) she has showered on our peaks. Forecasters promise warmer weather in Santa Fe this coming week, however, and that was a sufficient spur to have [...]
