Santa Fe/Taos Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Northern New Mexico's mountains and windswept mesas capture some of the "Land of Enchantment" state's most magical scenery and major historical sites. On a visit to Santa Fe, 55 miles north of Albuquerque, and to Taos, another 68 miles north of Santa Fe, families can combine explorations of ancient cliff dwellings and centuries-old pueblos with hot-air balloon rides, horseback riding, biking, and hiking. This region, at an altitude of about 7,000 feet and graced with sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, is also rich in Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo flavors—including the Southwest's famous fire-hot green chili cheeseburger!
