Fall & Winter in
  Santa Fe County

 

Santa Fe County is fabulous in Fall and wonderful in Winter. Cool days are followed by crisp evenings, the golden aspen trees in Hyde Park and the ski basin call out for exploration, teasing snow already tips the mountains, and days of crisp blue skies and sunsets like nowhere else abound. Fall hiking trails reveal breathtaking sights of color at every turn. Enjoy visiting modern art galleries, skiing, exploring ancient ruins,
a leisurely afternoon cocktail or a pint of local micro-brew. Take in one of the lively contemporary music venues or simply stroll under star-strewn skies. End the day with a hot-tub in the cool mountain air, then venture out for a green chile-seasoned meal at the surprisingly large number of 4 and 5-star restaurants throughout the area to warm your way to sleep. Santa Fe County truly is “No Place Like Home!” However you decide to spend your days and nights, you’ll always remember Fall & Winter in Santa Fe County.
