Sitting at the base of the Southern Rocky Mountains, Santa Fe is a huge outdoor playground of endless hiking, mountain biking, white water rafting, rock climbing, camping, and fishing, just waiting for any visitor or adventurous traveler that’s ready to experience it’s pristine air and limitless activities. Within the city, a flourishing art market can be found. Original stores and galleries create a perfect combination for intriguing shopping.
