Santa Fe: The City

For those of you who have never been to Santa Fe, we’ve taken on the tremendous challenge of whittling down all of the city’s wide-ranging attractions to a manageable size. You will also find a tremendous amount of useful information on the City of Santa Fe website, Wikitravel or Visit Santa Fe.com.

The Sunshine is the consistent, predictable weather element in Santa Fe. Even though the city is located in a high desert region (7,000 feet above sea level), it still plays host to all four seasons. Snow will likely fall during the winter months and the summer months bring dry heat and cool sunsets.

The five scenic mountain ranges that envelop the city – Jemez, Sandia, Ortiz, Manzano and Sangre de Cristo – help make Santa Fe a year-round mecca for outdoor recreation and family fun.
