The New Mexico Museum of Art is a nice respite from the afternoon heat in downtown Santa Fe. There are sculptures, paintings, and other items of interest to keep you engaged. As an added bonus, the pueblo architecture is amazing.

Santa Fe Sunsets
Fort Marcy
One of the best views of the city of Santa Fe can be found at the historic site of Fort Marcy. The original fort location was selected on a hill just northeast of the Santa Fe Plaza. The fort no longer exists, but the views of Santa Fe are spectacular.
Truchas
There is a magical little town on the scenic High Road to Taos called Truchas. It has one of the best views in the area – one so beautiful that it is near impossible to capture with a camera. If you go straight where Highway 76 bends towards Taos, you will make your way along a narrow paved road filled with small homes and farms. If you turn at the bend, you will find a wall of graffiti to include a spaceship and other painted arts.
Buffalo Thunder
Buffalo Thunder is a Hilton Casino and Hotel just to the north side of Santa Fe. It is full of art from the area, and even if you are not a Casino fan, you should stop in for a visit. They have done a great job with this place.
Saint Francis Cathedral
The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi or Saint Francis Cathedral is a beautiful piece of history located about a block away from the Downtown Santa Fe Plaza.
Scenes from the Road
These photographs will give you an idea of what it was like to drive across New Mexico today. *Note that neither the Cadillac nor the Bison belong to me. 🙂
