Fall in
  Santa Fe County

 

Santa Fe County is the place to be in the fall. Spectacular fall colors are dazzling under our crisp blue skies. Green chiles roasting along roadsides scent the pleasantly-cool fall air. The spectacular fall weather is crisp in the morning, warming in the afternoon and deliciously cooler most evenings. As the season progresses, piñon fires grace adobe kiva fireplaces in the evenings and the aromatic scent of the crackling wood assures you that you are “No Place Like Home!” You'll enjoy hiking among the golden mountain aspens, visiting ancient ruins or modern art galleries, mountain climbing, or rejuvenating in a luxury-spa resort. Local cuisine produces some of the finest green-chile stew at this time of year, or opt for haute-cuisine at the many four and five-star fine restaurants moments away. Fall in Santa Fe County is a fall you will always remember.
