What are your favorite things to do in Santa Fe?
Hi, guys - what are your favorite things to do in Santa Fe? We're open to all suggestions. I love Georgia O'Keeffe, so seeing her museum is a must. What else would you recommend?

Since you're a Georgia O'Keeffe fan, you would really enjoy the tour of her home. I thought it was an awesome experience. Info is here: http://www.abiquiuinn.com/areaattractions.htm
You need to get tickets in advance. You have to do it by phone. There is a shuttle that takes you there from the Abiqiui Inn. We ate lunch there first--salads and sandwiches, which were very tasty and not terribly expensive.
I also love Santacafe.

Abiquiu is about 45 minutes northwest of Santa Fe.
The new New Mexico History Museum is very nice - just north of the plaza.
We always enjoy just walking around, window shopping, etc. One gallery we really like is the Lisa Kristine photography gallery on San Francisco, a little over a block west of the plaza. www.lisakristine.com She does incredible work!

volcano girl, the website I sent has instructions for getting to the Abiquiu Inn. Just click on that option. You have to get yourself to the Inn, but then there is a shuttle (with the tour guide on it) that takes you to the home.

Hi elendilpickle! Thanks!
How many days do you have to visit, volcanogirl?
I'll wait to hear before I recommend things to do as there are too many things to do and never enough time to experience Santa Fe and its environs.

We haven't decided anything yet; we're just thinking of taking a trip in the fall - maybe 4 days? We just got back from a big trip to Costa Rica so don't have a ton of vacation left, but would love to do a fall trip.

For nature, head over to Bandelier NP. It is an hour or so sort of west, has Native American ruins, nice hiking etc. and a separate section of the park called Tsankawi is 5 miles closer to SF and is a fantastic place to hike. There are some pictures of it in my flickr site in the 2008 set at www.flickr.com/photos/emalloy2009/sets if you want to check if that is up your alley. About a half an hour further west towards Jemez is Vales caldera which had loads of elk visible from the road and I think that you can hike in that area too.
Enjoy the trip New Mexico is great.

We were in SF last week and highly recommend the Intl. Folk Art Museum. It's in the middle of a beautiful residential district and visiting it is like a trip around the world in and of itself. All the times we've been to SF and now find out it's been around since the early 90's!
