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.

Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort and Spa Named an Historic Hotel of America
Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort and Spa in Santa Fe is now part of Historic Hotels of America, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. To be eligible for this designation, a hotel must be at least 50 years old, listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or recognized locally as having historic significance. Bishop’s Lodge is one of more than 200 hotels and resorts throughout the country recognized by Historic Hotels for preserving and maintaining their historic integrity, architecture and ambiance.

Bishop's Lodge Santa FeBishop’s Lodge is on the site of ancient ruins inhabited by the Tesuque people. It became part of a Spanish land grant in 1743, and farmers grew squash, corn and wheat on the land. In 1853, Jean Baptiste Lamy, a French  priest, was appointed Bishop of Santa Fe. Seeking a retreat, Lamy found the site, three miles north of Santa Fe, and bought small parcels of land over time. He eventually built a house, a small chapel, and landscaped the land.

After his death, the land passed through a succession of owners, among them the Pulitzer family. The Thorpe family bought it in 1918 and began extensive expansions, constructing many of the present lodges, the equestrian area, the swimming pool, tennis courts and a skeet shooting range. In 1998 Thorpe heirs sold the property to the present owners.

 In addition to its designation by the National Register, Historic Hotels is a brand of the Preferred Hotel Group.
